Leading On - Simplifying the DfE Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy

Adults keep saying 'we owe it to the young people to give them hope.' But I don’t want your hope…I want you to act.” (Greta Thunberg)

The DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy is comprehensive, but also overwhelming.  This webinar highlights the key themes on which to focus to help your institution respond to climate change and support staff and students in creating a truly sustainable future. Focusing on successful implementation and the importance of governance and culture in achieving this, attendees will leave knowledgeable and empowered to put plans into immediate action. 

While the need to act on climate change and sustainability is imperative for the education sector, already facing restricted budgets and a stretched workforce means such action can feel overwhelming.

The purpose of this interactive webinar is to:

  • provide a shared understanding of the key terminology within the Strategy
  • distill its key objectives to help identify the key areas on which to focus
  • centre the business case in communicating the purpose of taking action
  • evidence the vital role governance and culture play in delivering this strategy effectively, with key questions considered to immediately apply to the workplace
