Vision: To be a net carbon zero trust

Commitments:
 

• To take action to reduce our carbon emissions across our school estates
   
• To take all reasonable steps to work towards being a net carbon trust
   
• To report on progress to the Trust Board
   
• To appoint a sustainability lead at each school site to advise, encourage and support the work of the trust.
   
• To embed sustainability and decarbonisation within policy creation and decision making, working through the lens of our young people and ensuring the protection of future generations by acting proactively to reduce our impact on the environment, placing future generations at the heart of decision making and reporting
   
• To ensure our curriculum supports learning about nature, the causes and impacts of climate change and the importance of sustainability.
   
• To support and encourage our young people to use their voice to advocate for a more sustainable future.
   
• To explore ways in which the trust and schools’ distinct Christian visions and values supports an active culture of justice and responsibility in the context of creation care.
   
• To understand the short-, medium- and long-term risks of climate change to the trust estates and school community including increased heat risk, flood risk and water scarcity.
   
• To review and understand progress indicators and objectives against timelines and report on policies and programmes.
   
• The Trust and our schools have already made strides to becoming more sustainable. Trust Staff have met with each site’s Sustainability Lead and pupils/students to obtain their voice, discuss their ideas and what they would like to see included in our climate action plan. suspendisse sed.
