nvironmental issues have climbed the news agenda in recent years, and young people today are more concerned about climate change than their predecessors. Indeed,
54% of students see climate breakdown as the second biggest threat to the UK, just behind the quality of the NHS, according to a September 2020 study by the University of Winchester. This means that schools, colleges and universities need to be alive to young people’s concerns. As Lawrence Savage, marketing manager at ExaClair, notes: “With the UK government recently pledging £1 billion to build new schools, and a further £560 million for repairs and upgrades to accommodate the growing pupil population – an estimated 640 new schools are needed in England – many governing bodies are seeing this as an opportunity to invest in green schools and thus help the UK meet its commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.”
