Practical guide to climate action by topic

This guide is designed to help school leaders implement change, understand opportunities and regulatory changes that relate to schools. Taking action is often easier than it seems! Student engagement is referenced throughout.

Overview

The guide covers both:

  • decarbonisation – see sections relating to energy, sustainable transport and the circular economy
  • climate adaptation and resilience – see sections relating to biodiversity, green infrastructure and well-being
  • climate education - see sections relating to curriculum and teacher CPD, and student events, networking and opportunities
