[Project number: 2020-1-CY01-KA202-065983] ● [for business owners] Is it possible to measure, monitor and manage the business carbon emissions? How can this be done, what investments should be made? At what cost can this be implemented? How can they use technology applications to reduce costs by saving energy? How can they assess the monetary or any indirect benefits of turning to cleaner energy and investing in the GHG management and energy savings? Howwill this improve their competitive advantage? Howwill this improve their green image? What are the penalties and what practices can be used to avoid penalties? What is the faster way to build and maintain a green corporate image? How to provide the right information to stakeholders? ● [for local community representatives] What actions need to be done to ensure that the regional environment and natural world are protected? How to increase pressure on local authorities to act against violations of regional businesses (penalty-fines) in terms of emissions and waste that causes environmental issues. Are there any official reports by the local business to provide required information to stakeholders describing the impacts of its activities on the environment and climate change? How to interpret such information and evaluate the corporate green image? ● [for state representatives] Are there strong incentives suggested to the regional businesses that encourage their investment in clean energy, GHG management and energy savings? How can penalties be used? How to increase the awareness of the businesses about the significance of mitigating the impacts of climate change and improving its environmental footprint? After the first phase of negotiations, a query can be set to participants, since each choice decided comes with a cost along with the benefits. They will have to consider and express in brief their thoughts about the investment suggested, regarding both the cost/expenditures and the time that the action needs to be performed. Towards the conclusion of the role-playing (and surely after the discussion/negotiations have proceeded well and have reached at a satisfying level close to what had been initially anticipated), the actors/participants will be asked to conclude by deciding for one of the following three options. Each delegation should opt for: ⮚ Acceptance of all the final resolutions suggested - total greening of the SME ⮚ Amendment of the suggested resolutions and qualify the most suitable - GHG emissions reduction differently specified by each delegation ⮚ Rejection of the suggested resolutions - extreme scenario ending with total disagreement among all parties/delegations involved The Lesson Plan of the 2nd scenario follows right after, while in Annexes there are also the respective: o Trainees’ Handouts, o Activity Sheet, o Role Cards, o Question Sheets for Roles, o Individual Performance Evaluation Sheet, o Extended Information Sheet.
