Clean energy

Impact level	Learning objectives
Discovery	1. The learner is made aware of the concepts of renewable and non-renewable energy resources. 2. The learner discovers the distribution of energy resources in the world. 3. The learner discovers the different impacts of energy on the environment and health. 4. The learner learns about the strategies developed by governments and other actors to promote sustainable energy.
Knowledge	1. The learner knows about different energy resources – renewable and non-renewable – and their respective advantages and disadvantages including environmental impacts, health issues, usage, safety and energy security, and their share in the energy mix at the local, national and global level. 2. The learner knows what energy is primarily used for in different regions of the world. 3. The learner understands the concept of energy efficiency and sufficiency and knows socio-technical strategies and policies to achieve efficiency and sufficiency. 4. The learner understands how policies can influence the development of energy production, supply, demand and usage. 5. The learner knows about harmful impacts of unsustainable energy production, understands how renewable energy technologies can help to drive sustainable development and understands the need for new and innovative technologies and especially technology transfer in collaborations between countries.
Commitment	1.The learner is able to communicate the need for energy efficiency and sufficiency. 2. The learner is able to assess and understand the need for affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy of other people/other countries or regions. 3. The learner is able to cooperate and collaborate with others to transfer and adapt energy technologies to different contexts and to share energy best practices of their communities. 4. The learner is able to clarify personal norms and values related to energy production and usage as well as to reflect and evaluate their own energy usage in terms of efficiency and sufficiency. 5. The learner is able to develop a vision of a reliable, sustainable energy production, supply and usage in their country.
Action	1. The learner is able to apply and evaluate measures in order to increase energy efficiency and sufficiency in their personal sphere and to increase the share of renewable energy in their local energy mix. 2. The learner is able to apply basic principles to determine the most appropriate renewable energy strategy in a given situation. 3. The learner is able to analyse the impact and long-term effects of big energy projects (e.g. constructing an off-shore wind park) and energy related policies on different stakeholder groups (including nature). 4. The learner is able to influence public policies related to energy production, supply and usage. 5. The learner is able to compare and assess different business models and their suitability for different energy solutions and to influence energy suppliers to produce safe, reliable and sustainable energy.
Transformation	1. The learner organises or co-organises a collective action to influence decisions at a certain level (local, national or international) and promotes energy efficiency and sufficiency. 2. The learner initiates tangible and measurable actions within a group. 3. The learner settles, within a group, levers to transform the practices of a target population.
