As one of the key initiatives of the DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy (2022), The DfE Climate Leaders Award will complement classroom learning and allow us to celebrate and recognise education providers, children and young people for:
- developing their connection with nature
- making a real contribution to establishing a sustainable future for us all
The award will provide a structured route through existing awards in this area, such as the John Muir Award, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Junior Forester Award and others.
Participation will enable children and young people to acquire credits towards the prestigious Climate Leaders Award. This will be recognised and valued as supporting progression to employment and further study.
