Current climate and nature education is inadequate

Students aren't being prepared to face the effects of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss, or taught to understand the solutions.

But we can change this

The UK education system needs to be reformed around climate justice, the natural world, and sustainability. We are campaigning to bring about this change.

Shadow Curriculum and Assessment Review (SCAR)

Recently, the UK government launched a Curriculum and Assessment Review following their manifesto promise. However, we felt young people were not given enough opportunities to share their views and meaningfully engage with this review. With a group of other leading youth organisations, we set out to change this by forming our own, entirely youth-led shadow panel.
