Funded by the DfE, Climate Ambassadors match volunteer climate experts with education settings.
Part of Let’s Go Zero, Climate Action Advisors are independent experts who offer free support for schools, colleges, and nurseries across England.
Measure and report on your sustainability progress
Establish a baseline to get a clear picture of your setting’s current performance so you can measure your progress over time.
Engage a specialist to improve your Scope 3 data
Engaging a specialist to improve your setting's Scope 3 data will help you to accurately measure, understand, and manage the often complex aspects of these emissions.
Seek a costed appraisal of your decarbonisation plan
Use a specialist to review your chosen decarbonisation measures and provide a breakdown of cost estimates, and what savings you can expect over time.
Use your decarbonisation plan to inform capital investment
Using your costed decarbonisation plan to guide investments will ensure that funds are used strategically to maximise carbon reduction while minimising costs. It can help you to identify cost savings, time savings and efficiencies between your decarbonisation goals and other priorities.
Audit your decarbonisation progress
Assess the effectiveness of your efforts to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions across your setting. Evaluate the effectiveness of energy reduction measures and reduced consumption patterns. Review the success of waste management practices - especially the increase in recycling rates and reduction in waste going to landfill. Assess the implementation of sustainable initiatives such as active travel plans, catering and general procurement.
