Become an undercover Agent !



Become an undercover 'eco agent' and save the planet! 

You can now learn about ways to protect the environment, while chasing eco-villains on the 'Eco Agents' website, available in 24 languages.

The European Environment Agency's  invites 9- to 14-year-olds to become undercover 'eco agents'. After creating a personal profile, each new recruit appears in an online comic strip alongside permanent characters.

Special missions will be assigned to the player, such as infiltrating a 'wind farm' in the Netherlands, which is a cover-up for a natural gas extraction facility. Each mission includes games where children earn points towards a general score. Several storylines on climate change, water quality, sustainable lifestyle, biodiversity and air quality are already online.  

Teachers can access educational material as well as a list of local websites where they can find more information about environmental issues. Each storyline has a corresponding quiz. Correct answers provide feedback and further information on that particular issue, whereas incorrect answers first provide a hint and then invite the player to try again. The quizzes can also be downloaded and used in classrooms.
