The University of Reading is one of the world’s leading centres for the study of climate, as well as having a long history in teacher training: passing our knowledge to those who need it most is the cornerstone of our mission. Working with the Office for Climate Education, Royal Meteorological Society, Met Office, EAUC and Ashden, the University held an online Climate Education Summit on 15 September 2021. It successfully brought together young people, scientists, teachers and educationalists, policymakers and campaigners to create a nationwide action plan for better climate education in schools and colleges. This is to ensure that all young people today, and in generations to come, are empowered with the knowledge, skills and understanding to tackle the climate and ecological crises facing our planet.
