Climate Action Month 2026
Climate Action Month 2026
This year we want you to get involved in Climate Action for the whole of September, with lessons and activities taking part throughout the month and our assembly timed with the Scottish Government’s Climate Week.
Help us host our Climate Action Month Assembly! We'd love to visit your school or nursery on 29 September with some special guests to broadcast our Assembly to schools across Scotland. Sound like fun? We'll let you know how you can volunteer in August.
All lessons are curricular linked with follow up resources to take learning further.
Our Live Lesson programme is funded by the Scottish Government.
As our Live Lessons are recorded and distributed online, cameras and microphones will be disabled for attendees. Due to this, our lessons require facilitation by educators within the classroom to ensure pupils can take part in our interactive activities.
Our lessons support the Curriculum, Campus, Community and Culture aspects of the Target 2030 Learning for Sustainability Action Plan as well as Global Citizenship and Meta Skills.

Challenge for the week: Collective Climate Action
As part of Climate Action Month, we invite schools and nurseries from across the country to work together to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Choose from a range of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and track emissions savings. Send us your points total to be named in our Climate Action Month Assembly on 29 September and receive a free resource to make an upcycled 'I'm a climate activist' wrist band.
The challenge will be launched on Tuesday 1 September, with an accompanying resource.
Only by working together can we have the biggest impact!
Live Lessons and Eco-Schools
Don't forget that taking part in any of our Live Lessons and the associated activities can be counted towards an Eco-Schools Scotland Green Flag Award.
