Climate Ambassadors is an initiative funded by the Department for Education with the aim of helping all education settings make and implement a Climate Action Plan. The initiative is led by the University of Reading and EAUC and is delivered by a consortium of organisations across England.
By supporting nurseries, schools and colleges to build their climate action plans, Climate Ambassadors can help to ensure that young people have access to the learning and skills they will need for their future in the green economy while also helping education settings meet the challenges of a changing climate.
Climate Ambassadors are wanted from a broad range of jobs and backgrounds to help deliver meaningful change on sustainability and climate change within the education system.
Climate Ambassadors work with nurseries, schools and colleges to develop climate action plans. Climate action plans will be designed to bring together all the work that education settings are doing on sustainability and climate change. They will cover decarbonisation, adaptation and resilience, biodiversity and climate education and green careers.
You don’t need to be an expert in all these topics- you can focus your time working on things that align with your experience. You will be provided with training and development to help you make the most of your skills when working with a nursery, school or college.
