The University of Leeds have recently launched a regional hub (Yorkshire and Humber) for the national Climate Ambassadors programme; a Department for Education funded volunteering scheme as part of their Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy.

Climate Ambassadors are a network of trained volunteers from across the private, public and charity sectors who support nurseries, schools and colleges with free, tailored guidance to progress their Climate Action Plans, wherever they are on their sustainability journey. By helping make climate and sustainability education more widely available to all young people, Climate Ambassador volunteers support the education sector to reduce its climate impact and become more resilient.
