Free Climate Action Pack for Primary Schools

This free pack has been designed to support schools in taking meaningful steps towards sustainability and climate responsibility. Whether you are starting your climate journey or already have practices in place, this free pack provides tools, templates and guidance to embed climate action across your school community.

Climate action in schools is about more than environmental responsibility; it's about preparing pupils for the world they'll inherit. Our downloadable Climate Action Pack includes ready-to-use policies, planning templates, audit tools, and practical activities to drive sustainability across all four key areas: Decarbonization, adaptation and resilience, biodiversity, and climate education.

All resources are ready to use and support a whole-school approach to climate action - from leadership and governance to pupil-led initiatives.
