This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, science and social science leads and teachers with advice and practical guidance on integrating climate education into science and social science curricula at post-16 level, as part of a holistic approach to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of climate change.

The DfE’s policy paper Sustainability and climate change: a strategy for the education and children’s services systems highlights the urgent need to give children and young people “the knowledge and skills to thrive in the green economy and to help restore nature”. By interweaving climate education throughout the curriculum, schools and colleges can provide students with a much deeper insight into the truth about environmental issues, and their role as agents of change.

In this webinar, Tamara White, biodiversity, sustainability and climate change specialist with over 13 years’ teaching experience, explains how post-16 settings can use opportunities within science and social science subjects to develop students’ climate literacy, with practical examples and activities to enhance teaching and learning.
