Climate Change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today… I believe that schools have a special role to play in helping pupils understand the causes and impact of our changing environment and showing the ways in which they can make a real difference.”
David Miliband

These materials provide an overview of the causes and consequences of climate change, and help teachers to explore its impact on everyone, especially people in the developing world. 

The activities also help pupils to understand their own contribution to climate change, and that of their school. Includes ideas for active citizenship projects designed to reduce your school and personal use of fossil fuels. 

This resource is divided into five days of activities, split across three sections.  Ideal for the summer week after SATs, or you can pick and choose from the lesson plans, tailoring your work to your particular needs.
