Action Renewables has partnered with Eco-Schools, Northern Ireland’s largest environmental education programme, to support climate change awareness in schools.

Action Renewables, based in Belfast, are a leading provider of renewable energy expertise and provide support for renewable energy development, through trading electricity and renewable energy certificates.

Eco-Schools is an international environmental education programme, with local charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful operating the initiative in Northern Ireland. Action Renewables is delighted to support Eco-Schools NI by sponsoring their Climate Change topic.

This year has been a historic year for the Eco-Schools’ programme- with over fifty percent of schools in Northern Ireland reaching Green Flag status. The programme is designed to allow pupils to think about climate change on a global scale but act locally in their daily lives, to help ensure that our local communities and landscapes stay healthy.

The Eco-School’s Climate Change module counts as a step towards achieving the Internationally recognised Green Flag Award and supports students and teachers in learning about climate change and sustainability. The Climate Change topic explores a range of issues, including the causes of climate change and how to take action to prevent and reduce the effects of carbon on our environment.

Lana Moore, Head of Charity Delivery with Action Renewables said:

“Action Renewables is committed to tackling the impacts of climate change, and we’re excited that our sponsorship of the Climate Change topic will support the delivery of this programme. This partnership strengthens our charitable goals by helping to educate young people and teachers, while also supporting schools on their journey toward Green Flag status.”

Alice Buchanan, Education coordinator at Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful said:

"We are excited to partner with Action Renewables to deliver the Eco-Schools Climate Change topic to schools across Northern Ireland. As the climate crises continues growing, it is important now more than ever before that we take the time to teach our young people about climate change. Through the effective delivery of our range of environmental education programmes we can ensure that they feel empowered to take action”
