Aim: This webinar will provide expert insight into the remarkable benefits that cycling, scootering or walking to school can have on our carbon footprint and health. It proposes initiatives to encourage pupils to choose cleaner, greener transport options, and underlines the impact of road vehicles on air quality and climate change.

Rationale: The government’s guidance, 'Sustainability leadership and climate action plans in education', highlights the importance of creating “a culture that prioritises sustainability” and identifying ways to reduce carbon emissions. Encouraging the whole setting, including pupils, to make sustainable travel choices can enhance their sense of agency regarding their own physical and mental health, and also regarding issues of local and global significance.
