Every year London Climate Action Week (LCAW) supports action across London’s diverse school community. Our objective is to bring London’s school sector together as a major force for climate action. London has an ambitious climate agenda and schools have a vital role to play in delivering it. If all of London’s 3600 schools pulled together on climate action, it would be transformative. Hence our motto “Think like a system and act as a sector.” We invite all of London’s different types of schools to take part: state schools, independent schools, special schools, faith schools, alternative provision and international schools. Each has its role to play to help deliver a climate safe, just and resilient city for Londoners and beyond. Working with our partners across London, we seek to support engagement on the five pillars introduced by the LCAW Schools Climate Summit in 2021 – the four ‘C’s and the one ‘F’ – Campus, Curriculum, Community, Careers and Finance.

Meeting the city’s net zero, circular economy and broader Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 will require a step-change. While individual school efforts are inspiring, only a sectoral approach can create impact at scale. The LCAW Schools Climate Summit calls on London’s 3,500 schools to think like a system & act as a sector.
If you’re an educator, activist, student, governor, policymaker, parent or business manager, this Summit is for you. Join us and help frame a new schools’ agenda to tackle the climate emergency at scale.
