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.
Energy is often the second largest spend after staffing for most settings. Reducing energy not only helps the environment, but reduces your costs.
We’ve hand-picked the energy actions that can make the biggest impact.
Learn why taking energy action is important, what approach could work for your setting and see what other's have done as inspiration.
Identify how your setting uses energy and uncover quick changes that can lead to immediate savings.
This is where you start putting your climate action plan into progress.
