As education providers begin to align with the UK Department for Education’s Climate Change and Sustainability strategy, Chester Zoo discusses how and why this is so important for young people throughout their education and beyond, e.g. providing opportunities to develop skills and knowledge to support them as they prepare to enter the working world, as well as the wellbeing benefits, especially in a post-COVID world.   

Through interventions like CPD with teachers, launching a Post-Graduate certificate in Conservation Education for teachers, providing curriculum linked toolkits, and resources for young people to develop green skills which can be applied throughout their career, Chester Zoo is a leading education organisation focused on providing opportunities for all.
