By 2025 the Department for Education expects all settings in England to have developed a 'Climate Action Plan'. You can use Sustainability Support for Education to identify the actions you want to take, and use these to create your short term Climate Action Plan.
Develop a long term plan for your setting to become more sustainable across different areas, including energy efficiency, decarbonisation, climate adaptation and resilience, biodiversity, green infrastructure, climate education, and green skills.
Develop a structured plan to pull together all activity related to helping make your setting more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Ideally, you have already developed a wider climate adaptation strategy - this plan should focus on delivery of the strategy.
Regularly engage with parents about your setting's sustainability efforts and climate education aims, and how they can support these initiatives at home.
Integrate your climate adaptation plan into your setting's long-term infrastructure and facilities management plans. You should highlight any climate risks identified, and set out your chosen adaptation measures into any relevant upgrade and renovation projects, building maintenance schedules, and landscaping decisions.
The goal is to ensure that your estate planning reflects the current and future needs of your setting.
