Are you looking for support with taking action on climate change in your school? Or do you need advice about meeting the DfE expectations about climate action in schools? Climate Action Advisors are a team of experts here to help.

Schools are being asked by central government to take action on the climate in a variety of ways: The DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy sets out expectations that all schools should have climate action plans and sustainability leads in place by 2025. The new 2026 Education Estates Strategy has outlined new requirements for reporting on school estates. Having a climate action plan in place will help to meet the estate management standards.

Let’s Go Zero Climate Action Advisors (CAAs) can provide free support and advice on how to meet these expectations!

The CAAs are climate action experts supporting schools, colleges and nurseries across England to take practical climate action. They help education settings understand their carbon impact, develop effective climate action plans, and access relevant funding, resources and local opportunities.

The service is free and part of Let’s Go Zero – Ashden's campaign supporting schools to reach zero carbon by 2030. Their friendly advisors provide tailored guidance through site visits and online consultations, share best practice and training opportunities, and bring schools together through workshops and collaboration, working with everyone from senior leaders to student eco clubs. They work with settings of any size, even those that are just starting their sustainability journey.
