Ecology, environment and education, the role of Erasmus+ projects in support to life programme
Abstract
The problem of the environment is becoming more and more pressing. The economic evolution of the world has led on the one hand to wellbeing, but on the other hand, has not taken into account Natural Resources. Sustainable development is on the agenda of all countries and represents a challenge for a return to green values. The European Union has sustainable development as one of its priorities. However, all this is not possible without proper education. The EU and national governments have set clear targets to guide European environmental policy up to 2025 and have developed a vision that extends to 2050, supported by specific research programmes, regulations and funding. The Life programme is one of the financing instruments dedicated entirely to the environment and climate action. However, the EU financing instruments are not limited only to this financing programme Projects aimed at the environment, to ecology, and sustainable development can be found in different calls. The article aims to analyse the contribution of the European Union through various funding in the field of education for Sustainable Development. In particular, Erasmus + KA 2 CBHE funding for education for Sustainable Development will be analysed. The method applied is the analysis of projects funded in the call KA2 CHBE that have as their objective the Sustainable Development in the environmental and ecological field. The analysis per year of the financed project and per region. This work will permit how important is the ecology question for EU and how Europe is replying to this challenge through different financing instruments.
