Climate Action Plans in Education
climate-focused curriculum in school classrooms 2025
What is the new school climate strategy for 2025?
Climate education has become an important component of education around the world as the urgency to address the global climate crisis continues to grow. As part of the national strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. Schools have been identified as being significant energy consumers. In a bid to raise awareness, meet global goals and save money from stretched budgets, the Department for Education is pushing schools to place greater focus on climate change and sustainability.
The Department for Education's Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy now require early years providers, schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities to have a comprehensive climate action plan in place by 2025. The thinking is that these plans will help schools become more environmentally friendly, while teaching children about the importance of sustainability and the problems of climate change.
According to the guidance, school climate action plans should focus on four core areas: Decarbonisation, Adaptation and resilience, Biodiversity, and Climate education
How can PlanMySchoolTrip help?
We can help you with this final part of the puzzle. Climate Education. By recognising the vital role that schools need to play in preparing the next generation for the challenges of climate change, schools can integrate climate science, and environmental sustainability, into the curriculum at all key stages and across various subjects and topics.
The workshops and day trips we offer go beyond simply teaching the facts about global warming, rising temperatures and species decline. As part of your climate education initiative, our workshops will help you equip students with the analytical skills, and creative problem-solving needed to become active participants in the fight against climate change.
Climate education workshops explore the complex relationships between human activity, natural systems, and the changing climate. Your students will be encouraged to think critically about the root causes of the crisis. They will be encouraged to think about how they, their friends and families, indeed all of us, can adapt our behaviour to live and work in a more sustainable way.
As well as climate education workshops that can visit your school, we also have specialist environmental organisations around the country who can offer day trips and field trips that give your students a fantastic insight into the challenges being faced by changing climates, improving their carbon literacy and helping you meet your obligations of the Climate Action Plan.
