Action-based learning approaches focusing on issues of sustainable development using concrete projects, actions and practices in schools and communities will be promoted. The scientific and practical questions to be addressed are linked to climate change, natural hazards, deforestation, and sustainable agriculture and will touch on the following 6 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 2: Climatic data will be used to assess which measures are needed to ensure food security and sustainable agriculture in the local communities, and appropriate solutions will be integrated into the teaching materials
SDG 4: The educational material that is developed will enhance the scientific and mathematical skills of the students, broadening their horizons, and giving them the opportunity to become leaders in promoting sustainable livelihoods
SDG 6: Meteorological data measurements, including precipitation measurements, will provide insight into the water resources that are available to the communities
SDG 12: SAS4SD will encourage the sustainable use of natural resources by emphasizing action research and learning through practice
SDG 13: The data from weather stations will provide an understanding of local climatic conditions and the communities’ potential vulnerability to climate change
SDG 15: By empowering schools and communities to investigate themselves conditions of sustainable rural livelihood, SAS4SD will promote behavioral changes regarding the exploitation of natural resources
