Want to make a difference in the fight against climate change? The European Climate Pact invites schools and universities across Europe to join Pact2School and inspire young people to turn their climate ideas into action.
The European Climate Pact is an initiative that brings people, communities and organisations together to tackle climate change and build a more resilient Europe. Through Pact2School, schools and universities can team up with Climate Pact Ambassadors and Partners to explore sustainability, develop creative solutions and make a real difference in their communities.
What’s in it for you? Discover new ideas for climate action, connect with people who share your passion for sustainability and showcase your activities through European Climate Pact communication channels. There is even the chance to receive up to €1,000 in funding to bring a student-led climate project to life.
To take part, schools and universities need to partner with a Climate Pact Ambassador or Partner:
