2025 is a pivotal year for UK schools. With the Department for Education (DfE) recommending that all schools develop a Climate Action Plan, sustainability is high on the school leadership agenda. But where should schools begin?

A recent article in Education Business highlights this pressing issue and offers practical guidance on how schools can take action. Written by Alex Green, Head of Let’s Go Zero, the piece breaks down the key steps to creating a climate action plan and explains why getting started now is crucial.

At Let’s Go Zero, we know that writing a climate action plan might seem like a daunting task. That’s why we’re here to help. Our team of Climate Action Advisors offers free, expert support to schools across England, helping them assess their current impact, set sustainability goals, and take meaningful steps towards becoming zero carbon.

The Education Business article explores:

  • Why every school should have a climate action plan in 2025
  • How early adopters are already making progress
  • Practical, cost-saving measures schools can implement
  • The role of Let’s Go Zero in supporting schools every step of the way

 

With over 5,200 schools already part of the Let’s Go Zero movement, the momentum for change is growing. Schools that act now will not only meet DfE requirements but also create healthier, more resilient learning environments while reducing costs.
