Free DfE-­funded Climate Action support for all Norfolk education settings

The DfE sustainability and climate change strategy for education states: "By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan". This includes early years settings, schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities.

The University of East Anglia Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research is the East of England regional hub for the DfE-funded Climate Ambassadors scheme. The scheme works in collaboration with Sister Project partners, providing a wealth of free support for every education setting in Norfolk and beyond.
