About the tool

The Influence the Future – Our City 2030 teacher guide sets out a methodology designed to grow and nourish student action competence in the areas of biodiversity, climate and energy, consumption and waste, and food. Designed primarily for students in upper secondary schools an higher elementary, it hones in on education for sustainable development (ESD) and additionally lays out how to involve youth in the democratic process and sustainability work at city levels.
