Sustainability and Climate Change - a whole school approach
How is your school responding to the climate and nature emergencies? The School Strikes for Climate and numerous surveys show that large numbers of young people globally do not believe their education is preparing them for a changing and uncertain future.
The sustainability and climate change strategy for education states: “By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan”. This includes early years settings, schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities.
How is your school making use of its Climate Action Plan? This 6 hour online training session will help school coordinators to develop a whole-school approach to sustainability and climate change, and help turn their Climate Action Plans into daily reality.
