About this Event
Climate change is no longer a distant concern—it is one of the most urgent challenges of our time, with profound implications for the futures of our students. This exclusive breakfast briefing will provide heads of school with an authoritative update on the latest climate science, helping you understand what lies ahead and how schools can respond.
As members of The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS), your schools have pledged, through the Sustainable Schools Charter, to embed sustainability principles in education and operations. This event is designed to connect that commitment with the latest global scientific insights, offering both context and urgency to guide leadership decisions.
