New role: Connecting Schools, Experts and Climate Enthusiasts in the East of England
The University of East Anglia (UEA) is coordinating the East of England hub for the Climate Ambassador Scheme, a national initiative to provide expert support to nurseries, schools, and colleges in their sustainability efforts.
