The climate emergency is not a distant threat but a present reality that today’s students will inherit and lead through. Schools are at the very heart of this challenge, shaping the next generation’s understanding and ability to act. Yet, many teachers lack formal training on climate change, which is where the Carbon Literacy Schools Toolkit steps in. This vital program gives educators the confidence and skills to embed climate action across all aspects of school life, helping to build resilient, hopeful, and empowered communities ready for a greener future.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of donors and match funders like Beechfield Brands and PlanAid, the £6,770.06 raised will make a tangible difference. It means hundreds more teachers and school leaders can become Carbon Literate, equipped to inspire their students. Crucially, these funds will help remove cost barriers, allowing more schools—including those with limited resources—to access the Toolkit. This strengthens whole-school approaches to sustainability, turning climate concern into positive action and preparing the climate leaders of tomorrow. In a world grappling with climate anxiety, Carbon Literacy offers hope grounded in practical solutions, helping young people understand they truly can make a difference.
