Forthcoming policy developments

The implementation of the EU Just Transition Fund also opened a space for more youth inclusion in this initiative and The Ministry of the Environment is preparing in cooperation with the Youth Field a possible new setup for Youth Inclusion.

In 2023, Czech UN Youth Delegate  attended for the first time not just the 3rd committee of UNGA but also the ECOSOC Youth Forum where he delivered a speech on behalf of the Czech Republic at the official ministerial round table. Given the raising number of activities and further opportunities, there is a on-going discussion about the expansion of the UNYD programme both in number of delegates and the events they are taking part in. In 2024, the first mandate specifically for climate was awarded. 

In the Czech Republic, a whole range of educational programs will be created for schools and the public. The MoE is sending a financial incentive of 105 million crowns to organizations such as envicentra. The subsidy is intended for long-term educational and educational projects focused on climate change (previously there were only two delgat positions, now there are three).

In 2025, the State Program of Environmental Education, Training and Awareness (EVVO) for the years 2026-2035 was approved.It follows on from the 2016-2025 program (see chapter 9.1).

The Framework Educational Programmes (FEP) are being revised - the revision emphasizes the modernization of educational objectives and competencies and reflects the challenges of the 21st century, including cross-cutting areas such as environmental and sustainable education. 

  • The cross-curricular theme Sustainable Environment aims to equip students with the ability to understand, reflect on and act towards sustainability in their personal, civic and professional lives. It fosters a relationship with the natural, social, cultural and built environment and connects environmental education with broader dimensions of sustainability. The theme develops understanding of the interconnections between environmental, social, economic and cultural aspects across time and space, while encouraging critical inquiry and active engagement in addressing sustainability challenges at both individual and collective levels.

In 2024 the Government approved an update of the Strategic Framework Czech Republic 2030 with a view to 2050. The CR 2030 framework is an overarching strategic document that combines the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainable development and sets out a vision for the long-term development of the Czech Republic. One of its tasks is that it translates the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the national level.
