About
Green Key is one of the five programmes of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). Along with the other FEE’s initiatives, we strive to address the burning environmental problems that our planet faces these days.
In 2021, FEE released the new 10-year strategic plan, called GAIA 20:30, with three critical goals in mind: to empower climate action, reduce environmental pollution and protect global biodiversity.
During the 2022 Protecting Global Biodiversity and 2023 Reducing Environmental Pollution campaigns we have promoted new activities, disseminated knowledge through webinars, and ran 7,767 km through 18 countries.
We have gone so far, but we will not stop! It’s time to…
Green Key and Blue Flag are excited to announce the new ClimAct campaign focusing on the third goal of GAIA 20:30, climate action.
You are a tourism specialist or work in the tourism sector, or you are a traveller. Have you ever asked yourself:
How does tourism contribute to climate change?
How can WE contribute to a more sustainable climate?
What are some environmentally friendly practices that we can easily incorporate into our daily activities?
We aim to maximise the positive impacts of our actions. Through a series of diverse free events and activities, we encourage our network to join forces with us and ACT to bring about positive solutions for Climate Change.
Together, we can change the world!
