An interactive afternoon of info and workshops from the DfE’s Sustainability Support Programmes – National Education Nature Park, Sustainability Support for Education and Climate Ambassadors, working with Let’s Go Zero to provide hands-on, tailored support in the North West.

Together, you’ll work through the ABCDs of climate action — the four pillars of a climate action plan — and start developing a plan (or refine an existing one) that is tailored to your setting, ambitious enough to make a difference and realistic enough to put into practice.

You’ll explore how sustainability can help your setting:

* Save money by reducing energy use and identifying practical efficiency measures

* Prepare for heatwaves and extreme weather, making your buildings, grounds and operations more resilient

* Create healthier, more comfortable environments for pupils and staff

* Support learning, wellbeing and inclusion, including creating better environments for pupils with SEND

* Bring climate and nature education into your curriculum

You will have time to network with fellow local education settings, as well as connect to the DfE-commissioned organisations, working on the ground to support climate action planning across the education sector.
