Candidate's Responses

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

    Greens would ensure the effective delivery of the new Natural History GCSE. We recognise that things are inter-connected and intersectional.

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

    I would expect so.

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

    Absolutely.

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

    I believe that we would like to see measures such as air filters, sustainable buildings, retrofitting insulation and installing heat pumps - but not sure how much is policy. Other measures such as plant based school meals might have been suggested.

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

    Definitely. This is essential. We don't have enough skilled workforce to install heat pumps for example. There are opportunities for future generations. We want a fair transition and to see a green industrial revolution.
