TTN Webinar: 6 October, 1pm-2pm

Climate Risks in Schools - Practical Strategies for Resilience

Join UKSSN and The Trust Network for a webinar with Paul Edmond, Hetal Parmar and Helen Burge focussing on the Department for Education’s Climate change risks on the delivery of education.

You’ll explore the top climate threats facing schools—flooding, water scarcity and overheating—and learn how to weave these risks into your operational planning - from early-warning systems and nature-based defences to data-driven audits and behaviour-change campaigns. Walk away with a clear roadmap to strengthen your risk register, unlock co-benefits across estates and embed climate resilience into every corner of your school community.
