Climate change has become a global problem, which concerns us all Climate change has become a global problem, which concerns us all. All teachers at schools have to face the fact that it is their responsibility to educate pupils on the factors which affect climate change. The objectives of the Partnership are: to encourage pupils to develop a better understanding of climate change, to evaluate how their everyday behaviour affects climate change, to find out what can be done at schools to combat climate change, to gather and evaluate information, to practise using modern technologies: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, web design, to practise English in communication with foreign partners
