abstract = {Our society is affected by the climate crisis, which is largely a consequence of human activity. For this reason, the education and awareness of society plays a fundamental role. Spain and Andalusia are committed to the 17 sustainable development goals established by the United Nations and their fulfilment by 2030, representing an important part of the Challenges of Andalusian Society (CAS). One of the goals to be achieved is to “improve education, awareness and human and institutional capacity for climate change mitigation, adaptation and early warning”. Education and environmental awareness in relation to CAS remain one of the main challenges, especially in foreign language teaching and learning. By means of an innovative educational strategy, this project aims to address four CAS in university language learning/teaching of French as a foreign language (FFL): 1. Climate action, environment, resource and raw material efficiency, 2. Smart, green and integrated transport, 3. Safe, clean and efficient energy, and 4. Health, demographic change and social well-being. The aim is to train and raise awareness of key concepts among undergraduate students through the integration of the CAS as didactic units in FFL subjects of the Bachelor’s Degree in French Studies at the University of Granada (Spain). This project may well have a positive impact on the environmental attitude, interest and motivation of students towards the CAS and the acquisition of linguistic competences in the French language.},
