Abstract

This briefing reports the findings of a Ministerial Event: A conversation with young people about climate change and sustainability education in England, that took place on 11th November, 2024 online. The overarching aim of the event, led by UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education and Students Organising for Sustainability UK, was to provide an opportunity for Minister Morgan to meaningfully and openly engage with young people aged 13-21 to learn about their experiences of climate change and sustainability education (CCSE) in England, and to hear their hopes and suggestions for future change. The event comprised two parts: in the first, Minister Morgan had a structured dialogue with four young people; in the second, participant young people explored experiences and aspirations for CCSE in four focus groups. Key areas explored across both parts include: • Young people’s experiences of effective CCSE; • Opportunities and challenges for the new government in relation to CCSE; • Impactful CCSE in schools; and • Sustainability skills and green careers. In total, 59 young people took part in the event, from across school and university contexts. This report summarises key findings emerging from the event, before drawing together emerging recommendations for policy and practice.
