Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes. The impacts of human induced climate change are likely to become very dangerous indeed for future generations unless enough is done about it now. I hope that when children and young people learn the scientific facts, they can also inform their parents or carers, and put pressure on their MPs to take action.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes, teaching on solutions is absolutely essential, not only local solutions,but also globally. Global problems need global solutions
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes very much so. There is so much disinformation, and even proven misinformation, in the various forms of media today, that it is essential for teachers to keep up to date with the best and most reliable facts.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, and not only schools, but all public, private and business buildings. Schools are particularly important, as a demonstration to the students of what can be achieved
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes absolutely, this is vital. There are shortages of people trained in installation of renewable energy solutions such as heat pumps and solar power, but also all businesses will require people with new skills in relation to biulding and maintaining a sustainable economy,
