Taking a whole school approach to climate action planning

Relevant to PSHE Leads, Sustainability Leads.

Description

This CPD session supports sustainability leads and school staff to develop an effective and manageable approach to leading climate action within their setting. Led by the UCL Climate Action Unit, the session combines research-informed insights with practical strategies to help schools design and implement a strong Climate Action Plan (CAP). Participants will explore how to involve the wider school community, ensuring the work is collaborative, sustainable and aligned with existing priorities.

Participants will explore how to:

Understand Department for Education expectations for Climate Action Plans.
Break the CAP process into manageable, achievable steps.
Engage stakeholders across the school community.
Access resources and external support, including the Climate Ambassadors programme.

Through practical guidance and discussion, participants will leave feeling more confident and equipped to lead, develop or refine their school’s Climate Action Plan.
