Waltham Forest Climate Summit Programme
A school/college can run the Waltham Forest Climate Summit at any time. The resources can be used to plan a week-long programme tailored to your school/college. Each day has a different theme and should include
- a keynote video
- a daily action which almost everyone can take part in
- a classroom/subject lesson linked to that theme and sustainability
Follow the link for each day to access the videos, supporting resources and more climate education recommendations.
Will you and your students take the Climate Challenge and do all five actions?
You can find an All You Need to Know pack here which will help you carry out the actions and form a School Climate Charter. Please note the pack was produced for the Climate Summit which took place 8 - 12 November 2021. Registration and submitted pledges are no longer required, but please do still share your actions with us here at The Hive.
