“Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve”

— Naomi Klein

Secondary Schools for a Sustainable Future (SSFSF) recognises the importance of young people leading the sustainability agenda in their schools.

Students from 6 Secondary schools in Brighton & Hove have been trained up as climate leaders, also 70-100 climate ambassadors in their schools, ensuring young people’s voice on climate change and sustainability is heard in the school.

Working with Citizen’s UK , schools researched different sustainability themes which they presented at a Student Summit in December 2023. Through a democratic process, schools chose to work together over the rest of this academic year on the theme of Consumption & Waste.

More information here and here.

As part of the SSFSF work, students will have the opportunity to join the UK Sustainable School Network. This will give young people a chance to share our work nationally as well as learn from other regions and participate in national campaigns.
