Encouraging and supporting Climate Action in Schools
The resources below have been adapted from our Climate Clever Schools initiative for schools to use to complete a ‘trimmed down’ Action Against Climate Change Award.
We hope you find them useful.
Please note: the use of these resources is optional – you can use your own, or any other resources you may find or have, to complete the Action Against Climate Change Award. The main thing is that schools go through the journey of: raising awareness of the climate crisis, audit their schools’ climate impact, then take action to mitigate some of that impact.
For schools to receive the Award’s digital certificate and ‘sticker’, they need to submit the photo evidence of their journey using the ‘Submit your evidence’ link.
Use the teaching resources below to help you complete the Action Against Climate Change Award
Ready to submit your evidence?
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).
