Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Absolutely. It's an issue that affects every aspect of our lives and will be even more important for future generations who will have to deal with the longer term impacts so it's important that young people have a good grounding in the subject.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes. We need to give young people hope that there are solutions and that they can do something to improve the planet they will inherit from our generation. That's why the Green Party electoral slogan in this election is "Real Hope - Real Change"
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. It's important that teachers know all the impacts and unintended consequences on climate of what we do in our every day lives. Teachers need to be climate advocates as much as mentors.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Absolutely and the Green Party commits to this along with injecting much needed funds in to restoring and maintaining existing schools and building new modern teaching establishments
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. As I said above, every aspect of our lives will be affected by climate change, including our working lives. Young people starting out on a career need to be equipped to consider the impact on the environment of everything they do in their working lives.
