The Challenge
The Department for Education (DfE) has stated that by 2025 all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan (CAP) as set out in the Sustainability and climate change strategy paper.
What is a Climate Action Plan?
A climate action plan is a detailed plan to enable your education setting to progress or commence sustainability initiatives. A climate action plan typically covers four key areas:
- Decarbonisation
- Adaptation and resilience
- Biodiversity
- Climate education, training and jobs
How Barker can help
Barker are working with education organisations, leading sector bodies and the DfE through the Net Zero Accelerator Programme to assist schools, trusts and FE/HE settings to develop their sustainability strategies to meet the Climate Action Plans target deadline.
Through our Barker Energy360TM solution we can help assess your sites, identify opportunities to save money and reduce carbon emissions and deliver the change to meet your climate goals.
To help you get started, Barker has created an education-specific policy template. You can download a copy HERE.
