What is a climate action plan?
A climate action plan (CAP) helps you embed sustainability into every part of your education setting. It's about turning big ideas into clear, manageable steps.

Funding
Exploring funding opportunities is key to making progress in sustainability, and can save your setting money.

Agree some initial energy efficiency and decarbonisation aims
Set some short-term goals, interventions and behaviour changes to reduce your energy consumption and increase the energy efficiency of your setting.
Plan to switch to renewable energy tariffs
Identify when and how you will transition your setting's energy consumption to sustainable sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power through the use of renewable energy tariffs.
