The Climate Coalition

SHOW THE LOVE WITH YOUR SCHOOL

2021 is a really important year for action on climate change. Later this year, the UK is hosting the United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow - also known as COP26. What gets decided there will define the world that today’s children will inherit. The time is now to use the power of green hearts to drive action on climate change, and show children that they can make an impact for their future.

The Climate Coalition’s Show the Love campaign is about using our voices to celebrate all the things we don’t want to lose to climate change. Everyone from musicians to footballers, astronauts to schoolchildren, actors to teachers and faith leaders get involved. Together we ask politicians to put aside their differences and take urgent action to protect everything we love from the worst impacts of climate change.

GET CREATIVE TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE

Green heart crafting is a great way to get students talking about how climate change is affecting the people, places and things they love - and what they want to do about it. 

Ahead of that weekend, encourage students to create green hearts to decorate a wall or window at home. Even though you’re not able to be in a classroom together, making ans sharing green hearts can create connection and your students can get their whole family involved too. You could even develop a route or map together so kids can get outside with their families and see other displays - or encourage them to share them online with each other during digital classes. 

This home learning pack can be used by teachers, parents or guardians to get kids thinking about protecting what they love from climate change. We recommend the pack for ages 8-13.
