A useful and inspiring day for teachers, schools staff and governors to come together and get the tools to take action for our climate.
By the end of this year, all schools are expected to have a climate action plan in place. But what is a climate action plan and how do you create one?
To break this down and give schools the tools to reach the government’s requirement, the Suffolk Sustainable Schools Network held a conference for teachers, governors and schools staff.
Over thirty schools attended the conference on 2 April, hearing from special guest speakers from the Department for Education and Students Organising for Sustainability UK, and taking part in inspiring workshops!
The day was a chance for school leaders to investigate ways to reduce their carbon emissions, improve biodiversity onsite, adapt to more extreme weather and improve provision for climate and green careers education.
Workshops included climate literacy training, climate action planning, community climate action through schools, greening the curriculum and behaviour change for sustainability.
After attending the conference, one teacher said they were ‘feeling much less overwhelmed’ by the process.
