Yes. The Green Party champions climate education and I believe in robust and ongoing teacher training in this. Through comprehensive training and by providing a range of high quality resources, we can ensure that teachers are able to equip students with the knowledge and thinking skills they need to respond to the climate crisis and take the necessary actions to stop the breakdown of our climate as well as our natural world.

I see this as essential. Investing in energy-efficient buildings and renewable energy sources is crucial and sets a positive example for students.

As part of their climate education, children could be involved in making decisions about how to best do this.

Yes. The Green Party sees a rapid transition to a green economy as critical - as do climate scientists. Green skills vocational training is a vital part of this. Equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed for the green economy is essential to build a resilient and sustainable future.
