Increase required teaching on climate change in the national curriculum
We want the Government to require 33 hours of climate education each school year, woven through all subjects on our national curriculum. This should help people better understand, adapt to and address the impact of climate change, from an early age.
The Peoples' Climate Vote found that 64% of people believe we are in a climate emergency. More action is needed. Part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goal for education is that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development.
We are making progress by introducing a Natural History GCSE, however providing a solid grounding in environmental awareness from age 4-18 is essential to educate and empower young people to take effective action. We must invest in further climate education to help meet the UKs net zero goals.
