Encouraging and supporting Climate Action in Schools
Action Against Climate Change is moving into Planet Friendly Missions
Schools can still complete the Action Against Climate Change Award if they have already started it.
For new schools, we recommend registering interest in Planet Friendly Missions, our new school action programme launching next academic year. It includes practical climate action through energy, travel, air quality, forests, waste, food and more.
Kids Against Plastic are passionate about the need for schools to cover environmental issues like the climate crisis, plastic pollution, and many more.
We also believe in empowering young people to be the change-makers of the now/ future.
The Action Against Climate Change award is aligned to Eco Schools and can be used to support your Green Flag application.
Learn about the Climate Crisis, the history of Climate Change and the need to become Climate Clever.
Investigate the impact of the Climate Crisis, make a school action plan and make a Climate Clever pledge.
Getting started couldn’t be simpler.
No registration or sign up is needed to start your journey to becoming a Climate Clever School, and do your bit towards tackling the climate crisis. Simply get started on completing Step 1 Inspire, Step 2 Investigate and Step 3 Act.
When you’ve completed all three steps, complete the form to submit your evidence. It will only take about five minutes. On receipt of your form we will celebrate your action and send you a digital certificate and sticker (for your school website or personal CV).
To help schools deliver engaging environmental education and to empower pupils and young people to take action against the important issues of our time.
