Climate change is a pressing global issue which has the ability to impact all other forms of livelihood, irrespective of socio-economic class or age. Schools
particularly are a force to act for a better climate as education helps to understand and address the impacts of climate crisis, empowering learners with
the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change.
To this end, the Climate Literacy and Action Project (CLAP) both teachers and students with resources and knowledge to take positive actions for the climate.
Nominated by the Schools’ Resource Centre (SRC) in October 2021 to be a beneficiary of the Commonwealth Sustainable Energy Transitions project. Through the project, we involved students in climate education from the energy and lifestyle perspective using resources developed by the Commonwealth Secretariat. Having the lessons and subsequent discussions with the students brought up important discussions that were hitherto not deeply discussed with children. It has inspired them to take positive action for the climate which we hope they develop further as they grow.
