The Climate Detectives Campaign

The Climate Detectives campaign aims to provide as many secondary schools in Germany as possible the support regarding climate protection.

You are invited to use the materials of the campaign as well as our service and project ranges. Start protecting the climate at your school now. Train climate detectives, improve your CO2 footprint and explore the effects of climate change. If you are already active in climate protection or publish useful materials on it, please inform me so that I can circulate your good example in the campaign.

The climate protection challenge

The average global temperature has been increasing since industrialisation. Although man has been identified as the cause and although we know that a further rise in temperatures represents an existential threat to human civilisation, the necessary reorientation has not come about yet. But this does not make climate protection a topic which is exhaustively discussed with reports on catastrophes. Quite the contrary: Here we can experience a sustainable approach to our planet as an attractive and exciting task, which involves everybody and from which (nearly) everybody can ultimately benefit.

We need, for instance, new and more efficient energy and transport systems and we need the researchers, mechanics and bankers to develop, install or service and finance these systems. We need people who think creatively and towards the future or can plan and act in cooperation with others – and we need schools, which teach such skills. We will make it together! Join our cause! Prepare your pupils and your school for the new challenge of climate change!

Climate protection in schools

With the know-how, the attitudes, motivations and skills which the pupils gain for their future lives, schools can co-influence the relationship of society to its environment for the long term. The Climate Detectives campaign is based on the concept of education for sustainable development and thus provides you with a contemporary teaching basis for this challenge.

With theit energy and materials consumption or with the daily commutes to school of the teachers and pupils, schools also contribute to climate change. The Climate Detectives campaign supports you in optimising the environmental effects of your school and thus in contributing to climate protection. Frugality and efficiency also reduce the operating costs and release funds which are desperately needed to relieve the communal budgets and to improve quality of schooling.

Climate protection in class

The climate protection subject is very suitable for cross-subject teaching. Approach your colleagues and include the perspectives of other subjects, such as:

Sorry: Climate detectives is a German campaign. Up to now, we provide information, teaching material + service only in German language. But we are really interested in international communication and co-operation! If you want to share experience, if you are looking for a climate related school partnership, if you provide service which might be useful for German schools or if you want to translate e.g. Climate Detectives teaching material into your language, please contact me, Tilman Langner, Umweltbüro Nord e.V.
