This guide is designed to support schools with developing climate action plans and contributing to Brent’s strategy to become carbon neutral by 2030. Developed in consultation with teachers across Brent, this guide is broken down into six different areas of climate action, each containing suggested activities, case studies, resources, and practical tips.
The guide is informed by Brent’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy 2021-30, the Whole School Approach, and the DfE Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy for Education.
With this guide, Brent aims to support schools in:
- developing climate action plans
- making climate action initiatives more manageable for busy schools
- embedding climate education in the curriculum so that children can take climate action now and in the future
- creating positive cultures that enable and encourage the school community to make sustainable choices
- making school sites more green, climate-resilient, energy-efficient and sustainable.
