Net-zero Skills and Jobs Teaching Resources

  • Teaching Net Zero Skills and Jobs

    Education resources to help teachers equip students with the skills and knowledge required for the jobs and career pathways that will sustain our transition to a net-zero economy.

What will it take to achieve net zero?


Addressing climate change and transitioning to a net-zero economy will involve everyone—from individuals to governments—working together to establish policies and design, manufacture and implement sustainable solutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The key to success? Skilled and passionate people dedicated to making a difference.

About these resources

These resources have been designed to boost teacher confidence in teaching about the impacts of climate change and transitioning to a net-zero economy using real-world examples.

They'll inspire your students to take socially and environmentally responsible action, develop young people's awareness of and confidence in becoming climate change entrepreneurs and increase student desire to consider future sustainability jobs that will be vital in our transition to a net zero economy.
