The 2021 August IPCC report warned that we are facing a ‘Code Red’ on climate change. To reduce our CO2 emissions major shifts in behaviour are required; 32% of the emissions reductions needed by 2035 depend on lifestyle change (House of Lords report, Oct 2022). Climate change is the top environmental issue children are concerned about but only 4% feel they are taught enough about it in school. Also 75% of teachers feel they haven’t received adequate training to teach about climate change.

Our key aims are to: - Increase understanding of climate change among children and what they can do about it. - Inspire children and their families to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (in domestic energy, travel, food and general consumption). - Reduce climate anxiety among children by making them feel empowered to take action. We do this by sending trained Climate Ed volunteers into schools to deliver a structured programme of workshops about carbon literacy and climate action.
