Erasmus + Green Travel
The goals of the European Green Deal such as sustainable and inclusive growth, climate neutrality by 2050, the implementation of the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations with its Sustainable Development Goals have an impact on the Erasmus+ Programme.
Erasmus + is to become greener and more sustainable: Participants are sensitised to sustainability and environmentally friendly travel will be supported with financial grants, depending on the availability of funds. Further information is available at Erasmus+ Green.
