The Department for Education's 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 as well as multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities.
Creating a climate action plan will allow you to take a structured and strategic route toward ensuring your setting or trust is acting toward, and educating about, sustainability.
About the Climate Ambassadors Scheme
The Climate Ambassadors scheme has been funded by the Department for Education (DfE) to support Early Years and other education settings to take action on Climate Change.
The scheme matches nurseries with Climate Ambassadors who have knowledge and expertise in sustainability, to help them develop and deliver Climate Action Plans.
Emma will talk you through the programme and the support on offer. There will be a chance to ask questions and resources will be sent to you afterwards to get started.
