AGLC is a learning centre located at the fringe of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, Kao Yai National Park located in Nakorn Ratchasima, Thailand. The inspiration behind the All Green Learning Centre (AGLC) is to create awareness, educate and provide alternative ways of interacting and adapting to our environment. Sustainability, climate change, energy crisis, pollution, environmental degradation, receding forest and a list of others are not addressed sufficiently in formal education. Learning for alterative model and distributed solution for a self-sustainable development is almost non-existence in schools, colleges and even university. The need to address climate change adaption & mitigation, disaster risk management and a series of preparation for severe weather changes have not been taken seriously throughout the world and there is no institution in Southeast Asia that develop practical knowledge and build capacity in sustainable solutions. The spread of natural disasters such as flash floods, mud slides, hurricanes, hail storms, bush fires, droughts and others are increasing at an alarming pace. The under-developed regions of Southeast Asia are hardest hit by these ever more violent natural catastrophes. There is an urgent to act and to reach out to as many people as possible through education and practical training. There is also a great need to inform and influence the society and government on the need for practical sustainable solutions. The training courses on sustainable solutions mainly cover renewable energy, water, green architecture and alternative agriculture. Our approach at AGLC
