Climate Action Plan Support

Together with partners Let’s Go Zero, National Education Nature Parks and Climate Ambassadors, Morecambe Bay Curriculum have created a free and helpful Climate Action Plan guide.

Wherever you are on your Climate Action Planning journey, we hope that being part of the Morecambe Bay Curriculum can help you get started or take the next step. We wanted to create something useful and locally-focused in response to the sustainability and climate change strategy for education, stating that: “By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan”.

The 2025 MBC Annual Conference focused on Climate Action Plans, and below you will find resources that help you and your colleagues explore climate education and careers, decarbonisation, climate adaptation, biodiversity, school leadership and engagement.

Resources for our bay: place, sustainability, environment and hope

Designed to support educators to feel more confident embedding climate-change, sustainability and nature into day to day teaching.

Co-designed by local educators and Lancaster University academics, these resources weave place, environment, sustainability and hope into the curriculum. Together, we designed these materials in the hope that they will support educators to feel more confident addressing these subjects in the classroom.

Download the Resources for our Bay Booklet to read more about the origins of this project, the co-design process and the underpinning pedagogy. Clicking the links below will give you an overview of the different teaching resources created.

If you enjoy the teaching resources below and feel inspired to weave them into your practice, you will be glad to hear each subject has additional teaching resources available for you to download on the MBC Moodle, which you can access for free by joining us below.

Seaside Play, The Poetics of the Beach: English x MBC

Morecambe Bay’s beaches are a wonderful resource for local schools. This project and resource seeks to explore play as fruitful for creative activities in ways that encourage proficiency in writing, oral and artisitic skills.

Grow Up! and Grab It! Resources: Engineering x MBC

Creative problem solving inspired by the nature of the Bay

KS2 Science, Design and Technology

The two activities, Grab It and Grow Up! link the engineering thinking process with exploration and observation of the biodiversity of plants and birds found in the habitats of Morecambe Bay. Thank you to Dr Irene Wise!

Grab It! Engineering challenge is based on solving a problem of reaching to pick something up, taking inspiration from the Bay's birds, to design and create an extendable grabber.

Grow Up! Engineering challenge is based on the need for creative ways to grow more food in a small space. Structures and 3D shapes are tested for stability and strength. Plants are observed as inspiration for designing and creating a vertical growing farm.
