Climate Ambassadors:
Turning Climate Ambition into Climate Action in Education

A key initiative of the DfE’s sustainability and climate change strategy for education is ‘sustainability leadership and climate action plans’.

The strategy 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.

A climate action plan is a detailed plan to enable your education setting, or trust, to progress or commence sustainability initiatives.

Climate Ambassadors offer every education setting in England free access to volunteer support to develop and deliver impactful climate action plans. If you would like to hear from Nicki Schantz, South West Hub Manager, Climate Ambassadors, then come along to the DAG Conference at Exeter Racecourse on Saturday 16th November. Nicki will consider the existing initiatives around environmental sustainability, along with resources available to enable progress with developing climate action plans.
