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.
Establish a regular climate anxiety survey
Routinely ask your community about their feelings and worries regarding climate change. This will help you develop strategies to support them.
Develop a plan for addressing climate anxiety
Where applicable, map out how your setting is going to acknowledge and help address the effects of climate anxiety within your school body.
Arrange a session on climate anxiety
Where appropriate, organise sessions to address climate anxiety and support those affected to develop agency to tackle it.
Arrange climate anxiety training for relevant staff
The sustainability agenda can feel overwhelming. Arranging climate anxiety training for relevant staff may help them understand and manage feelings of anxiety or distress related to climate change, and identify those aspects of climate change which they can impact.
