What is the resource about?
GreenComp is the European sustainability competence framework that defines 12 key competences grouped into four interrelated areas: embodying sustainability values, embracing complexity, envisioning sustainable futures, and acting for sustainability. It provides a common reference point for education and training systems, fostering knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable responsible action within planetary boundaries.
