Climate Ambassadors ready to support school buildings plan

 

 

Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez OBE has welcomed the publication of the UK government 10-year plan for school and college buildings in England.

Professor Charlton-Perex is Head of the School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences at the University of Reading, and chair of the National Climate Education Action Plan (NCEAP) group, bringing together over 80 organisations to collaborate on transformative climate education initiatives. The NCEAP Group supports organisations that contribute to the Department for Education Sustainability and Climate Change strategy.

 

“I really welcome the publication today of a clear and comprehensive strategy for the education estate. Giving all young people, regardless of their background, a safe and sustainable environment to learn in has to be at the top of the national priority list. 

 

"The Climate Ambassadors programme, which supports all education settings to develop a comprehensive Climate Action Plan, is ready to help all nursery, school and college leaders deliver on this ambitious strategy.

 

"As we have seen over the last few weeks, climate resilience has to be built into education just as it does in all areas of society to avoid loss of education and ultimately loss of opportunity for young people.”
