Plain English All 12 competences matter equally. GreenComp treats them as one whole. The Core focus and Build alongside labels per audience are 169to1's own emphasis to help each edition prioritise, not a ranking in GreenComp itself.

About this tool. The GreenComp Pulse is a plain-English guide to the EU sustainability competence framework, for use across the 169to1 editions. The competence names, descriptors, examples and statements are rewritten in plain British English from GreenComp: The European sustainability competence framework (Bianchi, G., Pisiotis, U., Cabrera Giraldez, M.; edited by Bacigalupo, M. and Punie, Y.; JRC, Publications Office of the European Union, 2022), reused under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.

GreenComp holds all 12 competences as equally important, and learners need not reach the same level across all of them. The Core focus and Build alongside emphasis shown for each audience is 169to1's own editorial layer to help each edition prioritise, and is not part of GreenComp. The framework is a reference, not a syllabus, and is meant to be adapted to the learner and the setting.
