Schools and climate change

Approximately 50% of the city council’s baseline emissions arose from schools (baseline 08/09). Schools could cut energy bills, and therefore carbon emissions, by up to 10% if good housekeeping is introduced.

The Government is promoting sustainable development through teaching, but also through building management and engagement with their local community.

The following pages provide information on how climate change and energy can be taught to children and outline your reporting requirements for upcoming Government schemes.
