We wanted to make sure that the next Parliament’s MPs will take action to improve climate education in schools. We turned the tables on parliamentary candidates by grading them using our climate education report card.
We provided a step-by-step guide will help you to contact your local parliamentary candidates, asking them to complete our climate education report card where they must answer 5 questions. Our volunteers then scored their answers and gave them an overall grade.
Together, we contacted as many parliamentary candidates as possible to make sure that the MPs who will represent us in this Parliament will take action to improve climate education in schools.
Look below to see how we scored candidates.
If you have other questions about how to engage with your candidates for the General Election, email us at hello@teachthefuture.uk.
A Parliamentary Candidate is someone who is campaigning to be elected in the General Election 2024; to represent you and other people in your local area in the House of Commons, and become your Member of Parliament (MP). Your current MP may also be running as a Parliamentary Candidate for the General Election. You will have a number of Parliamentary Candidates in your area from a range of different political parties. We want to try and meet candidates from a range of political parties. A general election gives most adults in the UK the chance to have a say by voting on who their local MP is and who runs the country.
