Climate Adaptation Plans for schools

The Climate Resilient Schools programme, co-funded by the Mayor of London, the Department for Education (DfE) and Thames Water, is working with 95 schools in London identified as most exposed and vulnerable to the three main impacts of climate change for London – overheating, flooding and water scarcity. The Climate Adaptation Plans (CAPs) for Schools project is one of four workstreams within the CRS programme. 

Building upon recommendations contained in previous GLA guidance on ‘How Schools and Early Years Settings Can Adapt to Climate Change’ (2020), and aligning with the DfE’s ‘Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy’ (2021), the key objectives of the CAPs for Schools project were to produce bespoke Climate Adaptation Plans for each school and produce an Overview Report for project partners.This overview report is available to read below.
