Implementing the DfE's Sustainability Strategy in Early Years Settings

​

Published in April 2022, the DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy extends to all educational and children’s services in England, including early years settings. The strategy envisions the UK as a world leader in sustainability and climate education by 2030. A key milestone in this journey is that by 2025, every educational setting will have appointed a sustainability lead and established a climate action plan.

Children need to understand their interconnectedness within the wider ecological context and the impact of their actions. Early childhood is a crucial phase for laying the foundation of these values and attitudes. Teaching sustainability helps children to make sense of the world, develop a passion for the environment, and understand the importance of their actions on the planet.
