Sustainable Schools

Through campaigns and practical support, we help schools lead the UK's low-carbon transformation

Let’s Go Zero 2030

Later this year, Ashden will launch Let’s Go Zero 2030 – a national campaign uniting UK schools working to cut their carbon emissions to zero by 2030. That’s a huge challenge – but transforming our schools will help safeguard the planet for future generations.

Every school that joins will be pledging to work towards a more sustainable future, while also urging the government to support this vital mission. As well as lobbying politicians, the campaign will give school leaders the tools and resources to become more sustainable.

By raising their voices together, schools and their allies will show the overwhelming support for zero carbon classrooms up and down the UK – and how they can be the spark for community action to tackle the climate crisis.

LESS CO2

The LESS CO₂ sustainable schools programme is a free energy efficiency programme available to any UK school.

The programme includes a series of half day workshops spread through the year, peer mentoring, expert advice and resources. Staff taking part are empowered and equipped to make changes and improvements to their school to reduce their energy usage, save money on bills and lower their CO₂ emissions.
