Candidate's Responses

  1. Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?

    As a member of the Green Party, I support integration of teaching about climate change in all subjects.

  2. Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?

    It is crucial to give people a sense of hope that we can act on climate change and we need to give young people the tools to do that.

  3. Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?

    I would support Carbon literacy training for teachers and more in depth training where relevant.

  4. Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?

    We need to invest in school infrastructure with sustainability as a key requirement. I am keen to see schools working with carbon co-operatives to support the creation of renewables eg solar panels on roofs.

  5. Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education? 

    We need an expansion in green skills training to support a just transition to renewables and sustainable buildings and travel.
