Climate change and resource scarcity are challenges that affect particularly cities and conurbations. Cities and local governments have a great potential to tackle the causes of climate change and to develop solutions for the protection of environment and climate. The UN Decade "Education for Sustainable Development" points out the significance of education in this context. The workshop will focus on the role that awareness raising, participation and civic engagement can play regarding the implementation of sustainable urban development; and what cultural and citizenship education can contribute to this process.
