We believe that young people deserve to learn about the causes, impacts and solutions to the climate crisis.
'Climate justice, hope and action' is a set of free KS3 teaching resources which supports a diverse curriculum, and aims to empower students and develop critical thinking.
Topics include:
- the current climate and biodiversity crisis
- climate injustice
- solutions to the climate crisis
- eco-anxiety
Our lesson plans and resources below are directly linked to the National Curriculum in England and in Northern Ireland. They also support the curriculum in Wales.
Lesson plans
We’ve got everything you need to bring the climate conversation to your classroom.
We’ve split up our KS3 climate resources into six handy topic areas and they cover a range of subjects: Art, Drama, English, Geography, History, PSHE, Religious studies, Science and Technology.
Lessons are designed to be delivered as a one-off, as a series of cross-curricula learning, or as a full school Environment Week.
