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.
Engage your community in climate adaptation
Involve your learners, stakeholders, and the rest of your community in climate adaptation. This can improve your processes and help make your local environment safer for all.
Include your staff and relevant stakeholders in the development of your climate adaptation goals and target-setting by actively consulting them and, where appropriate, involving them in the decision-making process. This could be done at department level, or via working groups, workshops, focus groups, or collaborative goal-setting sessions.
Include your learners in the development of your climate adaptation planning and goals by actively consulting them and, where appropriate, involving them in the decision-making process. Tailor the level of involvement to be age-appropriate and engaging.
Reach out and collaborate with local organisations, including your regional Climate Ambassadors hub, local and regional government agencies, utility providers and community groups. Use these connections to take actions that enhance your setting's ability to adapt to climate change impacts.
Take time to celebrate and share your setting’s progress in enhancing its climate resilience by including these achievements in the learning experience. These topics could be incorporated not only into the formal curriculum, if applicable, but also across various areas of learner engagement, such as informal play, extracurricular activities, assemblies, and learner-led initiatives.
