Climate Week 2013

Resources and projects
Founder of Climate Week Kevin Steele explains how the initiative provides a platform for teachers to engage pupils to take action on climate change. He also introduces the popular Climate Week Challenge.

Climate Week takes place from March 4 to 10 next year. Participation is free and schools across the UK are being encouraged to run any kind of event or celebration focusing on positive solutions to climate change. 

This is the third annual Climate Week campaign. The initiative was launched in 2011 with the aim of creating a national occasion that renews our confidence and ambition to combat climate change and which empowers people to act.

Climate Week is already Britain’s biggest environmental campaign. Last year, more than half a million people attended around 3,000 events across the UK that showcased the positive solutions to climate change. These events ranged from tree-planting days to walk-to-school schemes, conferences, film screenings and sustainable fashion shows.
