| Abstract: |
Mandate climate and nature literacy modules for all further and higher education students. Introduce a National Green Skilling Wage for full time study, work experience and apprenticeships to incentivise widespread upskilling that is accessible to all, aligned with Wales’ net zero ambitions. Build on the model of Carmarthenshire County Council to establish teacher/student Climate Action Groups in every local authority in Wales by 2030 to mainstream climate education across all subjects and levels. Create a carbon and nature literate workforce by establishing a continuing professional development pathway for all professionals by 2028. Conduct a sustainability audit of all tertiary education coursesto ensure curricula are relevant to the climate and nature crises. |
