What is the goal of Climate Action Accelerator Program?
To catalyze bold whole-school climate and nature action in school communities, in the K-12 sector and beyond. We must all achieve net-zero by 2050 and reverse the biodiversity trends. Every sector needs leaders who need to get there decades sooner to chart the path. We want to find leaders in elementary and secondary schools and help them create and implement hope-filled, audacious plans. We will share the learning and inspire other schools to join us.
