Yes alongside a complete overhaul of the present National Curriculum. As a secondary science teacher, I have sought to include the teaching of climate change in my own teaching whenever relevant for many years, and also work with other educators seeking to do the same. However, it is such a key issue for urgent action that it is a topic that can and must be in introduced across other subjects as well. A revised curriculum should allow for a more cross-curricular approach that would make it easier to make such connections rather than divide subjects artificially.

Absolutely. Climate change is a key issue for urgent global action if we are to avoid - or, given the damaging rise in global temperatures that have already taken place, at least try to mitigate the consequences. Teaching certainly needs to look at causes and impacts but also at solutions. Those solutions must also not remain just at an individual level, although individuals can play their part, the changes required are systemic. Acting on Climate Change requires global action for system change, to be more precise, socialist change to allow planning for need not profit, and internal cooperation not international competition.

Yes, and that should also include support staff too so all educators are involved. As a teacher trade unionist, I would add that training can't just become an additional task on top of the existing crushing workload. I would call for a completely new curriculum to be introduced following widespread consultation with educators and their unions, staff, parents and others, with changes introduced with a thorough programme of training and increased staff numbers to reduce workload.

Yes. The present school building stock is in desperate need of urgent investment. That capital spending should include the upgrading required to become carbon neutral.

Yes. A new 'Green New Deal' of skilled jobs, particularly for young workers, is urgently required in sectors such as energy, housing and transport in order to allow the urgent action required to act on climate change. That requires training and apprenticeships to be urgently made available too.
