Objective: The City of Kalamata is part of the EU Mission for “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030”. In this framework, it sees its transition to climate neutrality passing through involving and inspiring children and young people to be key agents of change. As their primary environment of socialising and learning is their school communities, in this pilot programme, the City proposes a holistic approach consisting of scalable socio-technical components that will support large-scale interventions on school ecosystems and beyond, and will act as the springboard for a systemic transformation towards climate-neutral behaviours in the city (at individual, school and municipal levels).
