Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes. Climate change can be integrated into every subject from maths and science to languages, geography, history, art and drama.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes. Education should encourage creativity and also enable students to identify and assess contested ideas, interrogate alternative arguments and consider their strengths and weaknesses.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. All teachers deserve opportunities for professional development and the climate crisis is an important topic for students in a wide range of subjects.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
"If we are to reach net zero by 2050 we need to reduce carbon emissions from buildings including schools. Investing in new or refurbished buildings has the potential to deliver savings for example on heating costs. Many schools in Nottingham have already benefited from investment in solar panels and a number of schools have already devised policies to reduce their emissions and environmental impact - for example staff and students at Bluecoat Aspley decided not to sell drinks in single-use plastic bottles in school. "
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. Meeting the challenges of climate change opens up many opportunities for new career paths for young people. If we are to reach net zero we need to ensure we have the workforce with the necessary skills.
