Putting your climate plan into action

Hopefully the above has provided a guide to creating an effective climate action plan. This plan will result in simple, positive steps being taken by your school.

Once you have decided which actions you will take and committed resources to this, we recommend publishing your climate action plan on your school’s website. The benefit of publishing your plan is that it holds you accountable and ensures you take the actions that you have pledged to take.

It is also an opportunity to highlight what your school has achieved and showcase your school as a leading example tackling climate change. You may wish to identify when you will provide an update on delivering your plan. For example, this could be at the end of every school year, and you may wish to involve pupils or organise an assembly on it.
