Description
The project aims to develop training programs for professional audiences about climate change, greenhouse gas reduction, using the renewable energy resources in order to increase the target group knowledge and capacity to promote public involvement in the implementation of policies related to climate change adaptation. Training programs will be applied to training of different industries professionals as well as representatives of local governments, technical and environmental educators and the general public because it contains themes which are relevant and related to climate change and adaptation to climate change. Developed and prepared leaflets about renewable energy will provide an opportunity to address the audience and other stakeholders to understand how the use of RES can mitigate climate change, which is necessary for the production of renewable energy and sensible treat of the environment. Developed materials will be able to improve the first-level professional higher education training modules in the natural sciences and technical subjects. Project partner from Norway is Norsk Energi - a consulting company, with large experience in different projects. Partner will participate in project conferences in Latvia to provide experience and information exchange.
