By 2025, the Department for Education expects every nursery, school, college and specialist school to have a Climate Action Plan and a sustainability lead in place to forge the path in tackling climate change. In this 30-minute session you will find out how to access support from climate professionals and volunteers to start or refine your setting’s Climate Action Plan. We’ll introduce you to Climate Action Plans and explain the ways our Climate Ambassadors can support you. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions. This live online session is for anyone working in or with an education setting (teachers, leaders, estate teams, governors, MAT leads)

Find out how you can get your team involved in climate action within the education sector.  This live webinar introduces the programme, provides example activities and the range of volunteering options with a choice of dates from Summer 2025 to Spring 2026.

The standalone webinars are delivered in partnership with STEM Ambassadors. Please book your free place through Eventbrite at the links below.

Join us and Sustainability Support for Education for a live webinar on how to take action to protect your education settings’ water resources.

Wholesale water prices are expected to increase by 42%, on average, over the next five years. It is likely these increases will be front loaded over years one and two (2025/26, 2026/27), tailing off towards 2030. The only way to affect such wholesale charges is to use less water through better usage management, efficiency measures and leakage detection. Therefore, to mitigate the emerging wholesale prices increases, settings will need to act now to reduce their water consumption.Join Sustainability Support for Education and the Climate Ambassadors in an interactive webinar to help you:

• Understand the new cost increases
• See how your setting’s water use compares to other settings
• Identify SIMPLE actions you can take to (i) reduce water consumption, (ii) save money, (iii) encourage your students water stewardship, and add these actions to your Climate Action Plan.
• Hear real case studies of steps other settings have taken that have reduced their water consumption and saved money!
• Opportunity for Q and A with a water sector specialist from Anglian Water
