Is your school leadership team responding to the Department of Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy?

Have you nominated a Climate Lead and are you developing a Climate Action Plan?

Cornwall Council has partnered with Eco-Schools and Let’s Go Zero to support schools to decarbonise their school buildings and grounds. This will address the Department of Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy (2023), which suggests that by the end of 2025 all education settings should have a nominated Climate Lead and a clear Climate Action Plan in place. To help support you, Cornwall Council is hosting a FREE climate conference for schools. Please see attached document learn more or scan the QR code.
