This is the website for the London Hub of the Climate Ambassador Programme in England
What is the Climate Ambassadors programme?
In co-operation with partners across London, the UCL Climate Action Unit is听supporting and听empowering education settings to address climate change.听
We know that while听many education settings are keen to make听climate action happen, they听often lack the听time听and resources to do so. In response to听this, we are coordinating (in London) a听programme听to recruit, train and support volunteers听in the local community. These volunteers will in turn help听education staff to implement climate action plans in school settings. These volunteers are known as Climate Ambassadors.
What is happening at the London Hub?
The London Hub听will deliver听a termly programme which听takes education settings听through a step-by-step process to build a听climate action plan in听six听weeks. We will also provide training and support sessions听for a听sustainability lead or a passionate member of staff in a school setting to听implement actions which deliver听that climate action plan.
Our first cohort of education settings will be kicking-off the programme in September 2024听and will have developed climate action plans by December of this year.听
