Climate and Nature Action in Education
There is overwhelming evidence that our climate and environment is rapidly deteriorating. Our education system and the nurseries, schools and colleges within it play a critical role in driving action to address climate change and nature decline. By working together, the education system can lead the way in reducing our collective carbon footprint, preparing our pre schools, schools and sixth form for extreme weather events and helping children and young people connect with nature and develop they green skills the need for their future.
As part of the Department for Education sustainability and climate change strategy, all education settings are expected to have a climate action plan and a sustainability lead in place by September 2025. Developing a climate action plan will help us work out how our schools/trust can work sustainability into our existing improvement plans.
