XR Educators are a group of teachers, trainers, lecturers, tutors and all kinds of educator who believe that not enough is being done to protect and prepare for the futures of their students. This is through changes to curriculum, what we choose to teach our students to prepare them for the rapidly changing world ahead, as well as ensuring they have a future to look forward by pushing for radical climate action.

The Climate Child Protection and Safeguarding Team (CCPAST) recognises that children and young people are uniquely vulnerable to the threats and harms of the climate and ecological emergency. As parents, educators and safeguarders, where do we begin? We start where the children are - with their community. This is where children need to see us protecting them.

CCPAST are working to champion the recognition in the legal framework that children's needs are met not only by their family but by their community and environment.

CCPAST aim to provide structured guidance to apply the child protection framework to climate risks and harms in the child's world. This includes familiarisation with the overarching principles and values of the legislation, practical advice on making a referral, what a climate-based child protection conference can look like, and developing an effective plan.

The ClimatEdPsych project aims to bring insights from educational and climate psychology to education through:
- Workshops CPD and resources for school communities and education professionals.
- Consultation on local and national climate wellbeing and education strategy projects.

The ClimatEdPsych approach is primarily focused on support for already-overstretched teachers – you can’t pour from an empty cup. It acknowledges the duty of care that adult systems have towards young people to safeguard their futures. It views systemic climate emotion support as central to the societal transition to sustainability. And it advocates for curriculum reform to equip young people with the skills they will need for resilience, agency and empowerment.

Dr Louise Edgington is a member of the British Psychological Society's Climate and Environment Action Coordinating group and since 2019, has worked with schools and universities, local authorities, private and charity groups, and other psychologists on climate resilience and wellbeing in education.

Teach the Teacher is a youth-led campaign that empowers secondary school students to run a workshop on climate change and the need for climate education directly with their teachers. Students are provided with free training, resources, and support, and teachers are shown how easy links to climate can be and how needed they are. Our aim is to address the lack of much needed climate education currently in the UK education system.

Teachers and students can register to take part here.
