Big Climate Conversation 2022

The Big Climate Conversation 2022 was Waltham Forest Council's second annual climate summit programme. 1000s of students across Waltham Forest took part between 7 - 18 November and had their opinions included in a VotesforSchools report. 

The Big Climate Conversation lesson is still available here for any KS2 + students in Waltham Forest to take part in and makes a great start to a climate or social action themed topic or a sustainability themed off-timetable day.

It takes 1 - 1.5 hours to run and includes essential knowledge about the climate emergency and discussion questions about what actions are being planned in Waltham Forest, what a sustainable community looks like and what might be the obstacles to change.
