The government’s sustainability and climate change strategy for education states that by 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan.
If you are a student, parent, member of staff or governor at a nursery, school or college then you can help develop these climate action plans, which should cover:
decarbonisation, for example calculating and taking actions to reduce carbon emissions, such as becoming more energy efficient
adaptation and resilience, such as taking actions to reduce the risk of flooding and overheating
biodiversity, for example engaging with the National Education Nature Park
climate education and green careers, such as ensuring the education you provide gives knowledge-rich and comprehensive teaching about climate change, and that your teaching staff and lecturers feel supported to offer this
There is lots of further information available here and Hackney Council supports education settings in Hackney to participate in the Eco-Schools programme - contact greenerhackney@hackney.gov.uk for details.
