Climate Action Group
Posted on 28/01/2022On Wednesday 26 January, while other students were at home enjoying an Inset day, 15 members of SJL’s Climate Action Group snapped up the opportunity to attend the University of Bedfordshire and STEMPOINT East’s first ever KS3 Climate Change student summit.
The summit brought together various people from across the education, research and wider STEM sectors (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to help enhance our young people’s understanding of the science and implications of climate change. The aim was to highlight the challenges we face and to focus on possible solutions and future technologies.
The group enjoyed listening to various speakers and took part in a workshop to calculate our own carbon footprint. All in all, it was a wonderful opportunity to look closely at the impact of climate change and to learn more about adaptation and mitigation strategies.
