Imagine you're teaching people how to live greener, but you have no way of knowing if they actually change their habits once they leave the classroom. This work creates a set of tools to track if people are actually taking action rather than just memorizing facts. It's like a fitness tracker, but for how well a sustainability course actually changes behavior in the real world.
Companies and governments spend millions on climate education but cannot prove if it actually changes behavior. There is a lack of standardized tools to measure if learners can actually apply sustainability knowledge in real-world settings.
An assessment model and methodology to measure action competence and action orientation. This includes validated indicators and instruments to track learning outcomes in sustainability education.
If you are a training provider dealing with clients who want proof that their employee green-skills programs actually work — this project developed an assessment model that measures action competence. This allows you to provide evidence-based reports on behavioral changes.
If you are a software company dealing with a lack of metrics to prove your climate courses are effective — this project developed validated indicators for action orientation. You can integrate these into your platform to show learners and buyers the actual impact of the curriculum.
If you are a government body dealing with scattered evidence on climate education effectiveness — this project developed a methodology to monitor outcomes across 6 case studies. This helps you align national policies with EU priorities like GreenComp.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost model mentioned for the resulting tools.
The project is testing its tools across 6 large-scale case studies and involving 35 organisations, suggesting a design intended for wide application across different learning contexts.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, though it is developed as a tool for policymakers and practitioners.
It aligns with EU priorities such as the GreenComp and the European Commission’s proposal on learning for environmental sustainability to empower citizens.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, indicating that final validated tools will be available toward the end of 2027.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 11 partners from 7 countries, with 5 universities and 1 research organization. There are 0 industry partners and 0 SMEs, meaning the project is driven by research and public-sector entities rather than commercial interests. This suggests the output will be a public-good tool rather than a proprietary product.
