What is the resource about?
In the GreenComp Framework published by the European Commission in 2022, Embracing complexity in sustainability is identified as one of the four key competence areas (see p. 19). This area emphasizes the importance of understanding interconnections, managing uncertainty, and navigating trade-offs. The framework provides valuable guidance on how conflicts of interest "often inherent in sustainability-related decisions" can be transformed into meaningful learning opportunities that foster critical thinking and support the development of holistic green practices across educational settings.
