A total of 30 climate advisors in nine regions of England will provide support and guidance to schools and colleges to achieve zero carbon by 2030

Nearly one-in-eight schools and colleges have “too high” levels of carbon dioxide, according to a government survey

The courses will include areas such as electric and hybrid vehicles, environmentally-friendly heating systems and electric bikes

The projects are expected to save 4,604 metric tons of carbon every year in total – equivalent to removing almost 4,000 cars from the road annually

The New York Energy Research and Development Authority and the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities have joined forces for the initiative
