Climate Action Plan (CAP) tool
Create your Climate Action PlanThe CAP tool is free for schools, nurseries, colleges and universities to use, to quickly and easily create a Climate Action Plan. You can then take meaningful action to improve your organisation’s sustainability, as well as meeting the Department for Education’s target for all education settings to have a Climate Action Plan by December 2025.
Why use Blue Marble's Climate Action Plan tool?
The CAP tool is free for schools to use. It is specifically designed for busy leaders and staff to quickly and easily create a plan that unlocks meaningful action.
The CAP tool is:
- Free for schools
- Quick to use, with template plans and simple steps built by our environmental experts. Likewise, Blue Marble’s expert team are on hand to guide you through each step
- Aligned with the Department for Education’s 2025 strategy, therefore allowing you to get ahead and be recognised as a leader and sustainable school
- Supported by Lets Go Zero and The Climate Ambassadors. Together with Blue Marble’s environmental experts, they can guide you as you complete your Climate Action Plan, and afterwards work with you to develop sustainability initiatives for your school
Why does your educational setting need a Climate Action Plan?
- A Climate Action Plan (CAP) enables an education setting to progress or commence sustainability initiatives
- It takes as little as five minutes to input data and initiatives into a templated app
- The resulting plan ensures education settings can work towards, and educate about, sustainability
- The plan and subsequent initiatives both also enable your school to support the Department for Education’s sustainability and climate change strategy
Interested in the CAP tool as a Multi-Academy Trust, local authority or diocese?
Blue Marble’s CAP tool can help you coordinate your sustainability strategy across your group of education settings.
Once your individual settings have created their Climate Action Plans, your group can easily track, progress and collaborate on shared initiatives through our dashboard.
Ensure that your sustainability strategy is being effectively implemented across your settings and celebrate your collective achievements.
