Deconstructing Climate Denial Speech and understanding the role of Nature-Based Solutions
In this Learning Scenario, students will learn how to identify, expose and deconstruct disinformation around climate change. This Learning Scenario was developed as part of the Integrating Nature-Based Solutions in Education project, funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and coordinated by PPMI, in collaboration with European Schoolnet (EUN).

EcoWave: Educating and Mobilizing Communities to Combat Landfills and Restore Natural Ecosystems
This Learning Scenario (LS) addresses the pressing issue of waste disposal and environmental pollution, focusing on practical solutions accessible to every student. Students study their city/town/village's environmental state, identify landfill sites, analyze waste composition, and propose ways to reduce waste production. They create smart bins for separate waste collection, engaging in calculations, material selection, and communication efforts to raise awareness about their actions.

Effectiveness of Green Cover on Water Retention in Cities
Many cities suffer the consequences of a flood after a large amount of water falls in a short period of time. This Learning Scenario aims to study which plant species are capable of storing the greatest amount of water in the soil in our city, in order to maximize the effectiveness of water retention in cities by the green cover (plants and vegetation that help absorb and retain water), putting into practice nature-based solutions (NBS). To do this, a humidity sensor is built with Arduino (open source electronic platform) and measurements of humidity and water infiltration capacity are made in the soils around different species of trees and shrubs.

Exploring ecosystem services and nature-based solutions to urban problems
The purpose of this learning scenario is to explore an urban ecosystem of a city, analysing its ecosystem services and determining whether it acts as a nature-based solution (NBS) to challenges such as diminishing biodiversity, urban heat islands and urban decay. This Learning Scenario was developed as part of the Integrating Nature-Based Solutions in Education project, funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and coordinated by PPMI, in collaboration with European Schoolnet (EUN).
