The causes and impacts of climate change and the decline of nature can't be seen in isolation and nor can the actions we need to take to resolve these two related crises. The Green Party looks at how to confront these two related emergencies in all its policies, so I would certainly support the same approach in educatioin.

Yes I would. It's easy to become despondent, depressed and apathetic if you only hear the grim facts about how serious the crises are. We know that there are solutions and that it is political will that is missing. Our young people need to see this too.

Yes I do and I beleive that many teachers would be glad to be given the tools to teach their students about these issues. I know that in my constituency there are several community organisations bringing projects relating to climate change into their local schools and that this has been well received by teachers. In one town within the High Peak, a community group has for the past 3 years organisted a schools COP, which has been enthusiastically welcomed by the teaching staff in the schools involved.

I support funding for all buildings to be upgraded to become carbon neutral. As a local councillor, I proposed the successful motion to declare a climate emergency. Since then the council has worked on reducing the carbon footprint on its own assets. High Peak Borough Council does not have responsibility for schools, but we have urged Derbyshire County Council to follow suit.

Certainly, since these are the skills that are missing and desperately needed at the moment. Young people should have the opportunity to learn skills for the solutions that exist and are needed now and government should be looking ahead at developing solutions that will need training in the future.
