Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes. Climate change is an existential threat and needs to be fully integrated into education.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes of course! We need to look at how we can tackle climate change, as well as understanding the problem. It's a massive challenge but it is not too late to take action to avoid the worst impacts and to adapt to the changes that are already inevitable.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. Teachers need to be climate literate so that they can support and educate their students.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes of course. All buildings need to shift to climate neutrality.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. The opportunities of the Green transition are immense - we need to train people in these skills so we can take advantage of these opportunities!
