LESS CO2 is a schools energy reduction programme brought to you by Ashden
Ashden is a charity with a mission to accelerate transformative climate solutions and build a more just world. Through our annual Awards Ceremony we recognise and reward the most innovative sustainable energy pioneers in the UK and developing world.
Through our programmes we help our winners scale up and spread their best practice so others can learn from them.
Schools sit at the core of communities and can inspire change within the homes of their students and staff, across into other local schools, as well as beyond into the wider business and cultural community. A simple change in one school can spark a movement for change that leads to groups of schools making that change. We have seen this first-hand with our LESS CO2 schools, when inspired by other local schools, they act themselves and then go on to lead others. One small action, can ripple out and build into meaningful carbon management across a community.
Working with a coalition of sustainable schools organisations, Ashden runs the Let's Go Zero 2030 campaign.
Let’s Go Zero 2030 unites schools working to be zero carbon by 2030. That’s a huge challenge – but transforming our schools will help safeguard the planet for future generations.
If you would like to work with us to help all UK schools become zero carbon please get in touch by emailing alex.green@ashden.org
