“Geographical education provides students with essential capabilities and competences needed to know and  understand the world. Responsible and effective uses of geographical information are vital for the future of  Europe. Therefore, all European citizens need to understand how to deal with it. Geographical education  provides them with the knowledge and skills to do this. For example, an appropriate use of geospatial data  and technologies is necessary to help analyse and address problems related to water, climate, energy,  sustainable development, natural hazards, globalisation and urban growth.
