Climate change is no longer a future challenge—it is already shaping how we live, work, and learn. Adapting means developing new skills, rethinking everyday practices, and being prepared for a rapidly changing world.
EDU_CLIMATE is a European project that places climate adaptation at the heart of vocational education and training. Through practical resources, innovative tools, and accessible learning opportunities, it helps learners, teachers, and training centres build the skills needed to face today’s climate reality with confidence and resilience.
Because the future cannot be stopped.
But it can be faced.

°C
As of mid-2026, the long-term human-induced global warming trend is estimated at approximately 1.37°C–1.4°C above the pre-industrial baseline (1850–1900).
Understanding Climate Adaptation
Climate adaptation is about acting today for the challenges of tomorrow. It means building the skills, knowledge, and resilience needed to thrive in a changing world.
Acting Through Everyday Choices
Change starts with everyday choices. Build the skills that support a more sustainable and resilient world.
MAIN OUTCOMES
EDU_CLIMATE delivers a set of practical tools designed to make adaptation accessible and actionable

Why adaptation?
Mitigation alone is no longer enough. Climate change is already reshaping the way we live, work, and produce food. Adapting is no longer optional. From ingredients and supply chains to culinary practices and consumer habits, the food sector is facing new challenges every day. Building resilience now is essential to creating a more sustainable, secure, and future-ready food system.
Human activities are responsible for nearly 100% of current global warming
Climate scientists conclude that human activities account for almost all observed global warming since the industrial era.
Amount of excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases that is absorbed by the oceans
Percentage of the world’s population currently exposed to potentially deadly heatwaves for more than 20 days each year

“We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.”

Climate change is already transforming the food sector, affecting crops, water availability, seasonal production and professional practices in kitchens and hospitality environments. Educating future professionals about climate adaptation is essential to help them develop sustainable cooking methods, reduce food waste, work with new ingredients and respond to increasingly frequent environmental challenges. Through education, VET learners can become more resilient, responsible and prepared for the future of the food industry.
