Candidate's Responses

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

    Climate change is an existential threat to our planet and will affect every aspect of our lives, so it is vital that it is considered in teaching every subject.

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

    Yes definitely. This should include measures to reduce carbon emissions and also to adapt to climate change. There should also be consideration of how the climate emergency links to the nature emergency and how natural environment solutions, such as forest conservation and tree planting, can help tackle climate change and adapt to it.

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

    This is of crucial importance.

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

    Yes. Schools should set a good example of public buildings being well insulated and also including renewable energy generation and measures to enhance the natural environment, including tree planting.

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

    Yes very much so. As a councillor I attended a carbon literacy course which I found very helpful.
