Yes- not only would I look to integrate climate change throughout school subjects, but I would also look to increase awareness through extracurricular activities, ensure environmental jobs and organisations had a presence at job fairs and career events and ensure the curriculum focuses on evidence-based research.

Yes- I believe climate change and how to tackle it should play a key part in PSHE lessons. This will play a key part in increasing our students understanding of the current climate issues we face as well as helping to dispel any myths surrounding climate change.

Yes- my work with Just Like Us and the Nottingham Pastel Project has seen me advocate for teachers to have better training in areas such as anti-bullying and LGBTQ+ support. As a Green Party MP I would extend this to also include training on the climate crisis and improved training on supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, improved mental health support and more robust diversity training.

Yes- as part of the Green Party’s aim to increase carbon neutral infrastructure, schools would absolutely be included on this list. Our aim to create a Green Powerhouse in the East Midlands includes increasing jobs in Green infrastructure and ensuring our institutions are carbon neutral is a big part of this.

Yes- as I mentioned in question one, I would look to expand students access to environmental based jobs, including increasing opportunities to work with or volunteer at environmental jobs, and ensure jobs in the environmental sector have a presence at job fairs and career events.
