We want to make sure that the next Parliament’s MPs will take action to improve climate education in schools. Join us as we turn the tables on parliamentary candidates by grading them using our climate education report card.
If yours isn't on the list, we’ll support you to meet with your candidates for the next general election.

I think it is vital that we give young people accurate information about climate change.
We need to show that we have solutions for climate change but we also need to encourage young people into research and science generally, so that they can contribute to developing more solutions in the future
Clearly some teachers need to know more than others about climate change, but unless all teacher have some basic understanding of the subject they cannot offer the right help and guidance to their students if they are asked about it
Upgrading schools can often make sense financially, helping to reduce energy bills. Any steps to improve schools help, even if they don't reach the ultimate goal of being climate neutral
The Liberal Democrats believe that there are potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs to be created that will require green skills.
