Our main goal is to bring the problem of climate change to the young generations of Bulgarians &#8211; it is happening here, now and will get much more serious in the very future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, the EU aims to be climate-neutral by 2050 \u2013 an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Our Climate Change Acad\u00e9mie aims to encourage the young generation in Bulgaria to take urgent and immediate actions for reducing the climate change. Since education is a critical aspect in addressing the issue of climate change, our goal is to raise awareness by developing several case-studies &amp; projects, embedding various aspects of the so-called \u201ccircular economy\u201d in to the learning objectives of many undergraduate and postgraduate programs as well as strengthening the collaboration between stakeholders and universities in terms of fostering co-creation for climate change adaptation and mitigation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to be social &#8211; join our project activities![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Can individuals help to fight climate change?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutelly!
