🤩 This week we joined "TCA Climate Objectives: Enhancing Knowledge for Good-Quality KA2 Projects", uniting educators and organisations across all sectors.

🌱 From Climate Literacy to Green Skills, it focused on embedding sustainability into the heart of Erasmus+ and ESC projects. By fostering behavioural shifts we are building the foundation for a more eco-conscious future.

NEW from IRI:

"ENSO-neutral conditions remain dominant through early [NH] spring 2026. However, the signal for El Niño strengthens rapidly during this period, with its probability rising from just 9% in Mar-May to 35% in Apr-Jun indicating a clear shift toward warming."

Final post of the series. Safeguarding rarely arrives with sirens. Children already care. Risks are now formally recognised. Schools sit inside these systems. What does 'reasonable responsibility' look like?

A new UK national security assessment quietly frames ecological collapse as a long‑term planning risk. This isn’t a call to panic—or prophecy. But it does shift context. Safeguarding is about foreseeability, not certainty. #ClimateRisk #Safeguarding #EducationPolicy #Preparedness #ClimateLiteracy

New evidence from Natural England shows just how emotionally meaningful nature already is in children’s lives—and how uneven access remains.

This matters for safeguarding. Not panic. Not pressure. Care.

Post 2 explores what this means for anyone working with young people. https://wp.me/p829C1-38h

"...Daily Mail published an article around the time of the 2019 youth climate strike headlined: “Net zero hero! How being carbon neutral will help the planet”. Fast forward to 2024, and in September the Mail published the headline “Bonkers’ net-zero target could cost 1 MILLION jobs, union chief warns”, which included four mentions of net zero but no mention of climate change..."

We analysed 73,000 articles and found the UK media is divorcing ‘climate change’ from net zero

Articles on net zero used to always explain the scientific background. But not anymore.

A group activity in my #ClimateLiteracy courses - ranking a handful of nation-states by total territorial, then per capita territorial, then per capita consumption-based emissions. Australia so often surprised participants (should maybe also include Canada?!? And rounding off with historical/cumulative is important, as a segue into future scenarios...)
