An exciting climate-friendly future is taking shape. This series of three curriculum-linked lessons will ensure your students have a meaningful voice in supporting an exciting climate-friendly future take root and grow!

On the run up to COP30 in Brazil, we are encouraging education settings to take part in the activities, internationally. 

This includes schools in Brazil, Dubai, USA and UK, but we are also working with students and staff members to translate the resources into a wide range of languages.  Why not watch a recent webinar for educators and take a look at the resources below to find out more? 

 

Lesson 1, Explore: pupils will work together to create a ‘solution tree’ that can be added to our digital woodland. 

Lesson 2, Develop: pupils identify and pitch a solution addressing a key climate change issue.  

Lesson 3, Share and Reflect: pupils deliver their BIFoR Future Forest pitch, before summarising it as a written message to be displayed during COP30 and beyond.
