Have you heard about Climate Ambassadors?

The Climate Ambassador Scheme is funded by the Department for Education and led collaboratively by the University of Reading and EAUC delivered in partnership with universities and research institutions and other national partners. The scheme supports the delivery of climate action plans in nurseries, schools and colleges through free access to expertise on climate action and sustainability.

Climate Ambassadors are volunteers from a broad range of backgrounds and jobs. They work both in individual settings and with multi-academy trusts and partnerships. Climate Ambassadors can work with governors, leadership team, staff or young people.

Would you like to hear from a Climate Ambassador? DAG is hosting an online session to bring together leaders in sustainability in education across Devon to assist the school governance community to:

• Understand requirements arising from the DfE initiative, and the governor role in fulfilling these and having a climate action plan in place by 2025
• Navigate the existing initiatives and resources available to enable progress with developing climate action plans.

The 90-minute online session at 6pm on Monday 24^th June 2024 will include contributions from experts from Devon County Council, the Diocese of Exeter, Let’s Go Zero and Climate Ambassadors and will provide an opportunity to raise questions with a panel of experts. The seminar is open to all involved in school governance across Devon and Cornwall. Please reserve your place by contacting  [email protected].
