Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation via Forest Management: Project CC4Forest
The CC4Forest project, focused on Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation via Forest Management, addresses the critical priorities of the environment and fighting climate change, alongside improving flexible adult learning pathways. With a focus on green skills and collaboration between educational institutions and businesses, the project aims to increase awareness and equip adults, educators, and small business owners with practical tools for sustainable forest management. The project strives to enhance competence, knowledge, and skills in sustainable forest management by developing eight MOOCs, pilot sessions, and innovative educational materials. The target audience includes adults interested in climate change mitigation, professionals in relevant sectors, and staff of small business owners. Motivated by the urgency of climate challenges and low awareness, CC4Forest aligns with EU goals, providing high-quality, flexible learning opportunities. Transnational cooperation ensures knowledge exchange, diverse perspectives, and a broader impact, contributing to resilient, sustainable societies better equipped to address climate change challenges.
