This paper examines the Erasmus+-funded Climate Virtual Exchange (CliVEx) program, a three-year initiative connecting students from Europe and the Southern Mediterranean, including Palestine, through a dialogue-based virtual exchange focused on climate justice and sustainable action. Through the course “Climate Justice: From Inequality to Inclusion,” students collaboratively explore the intersections of climate change, structural inequality, and systems of oppression—including settler colonialism and apartheid as experienced in the Palestinian context.

By engaging in digitally facilitated dialogue, reflective journaling, and cross-border Climate Action Projects, students develop intercultural competencies, sustainability literacy, and the digital collaboration skills required for effective global engagement. The course fosters inclusive and justice-oriented public engagement with climate issues, preparing participants to respond to environmental crises not only as future professionals, but as globally aware and civically responsible actors.

We highlight best practices for integrating climate justice into virtual international education, including the use of decolonial pedagogies, localized narrative framing, and participatory learning approaches rooted in students’ lived realities. The findings underscore the transformative potential of virtual exchange in enabling youth—particularly those living under occupation or in structurally marginalized settings—to co-create knowledge, amplify underrepresented voices, and engage in sustainable, community-based action with real-world impact.
