Climate Trunk for Schools is being piloted in 28 UK secondary schools in partnership with the University of Oxford's NetZeroEd initiative. Special thanks to Amelia Farber and the NetZeroEd team for helping bring the project into classrooms.
Climate change is an overwhelming subject. Climate Trunk helps students build understanding one visual at a time.
Each week, schools can receive a new Trunk visual exploring a different aspect of climate science, energy, economics, nature or the net zero transition. The Trunk's rings help to build a connected, coherent visual map of climate and energy over time.
Whether displayed in classrooms or used in lesson plans , Climate Trunk is designed to spark curiosity, improve climate literacy and support teaching. It helps students stay grounded in the evidence, navigate climate misinformation and recognise the familiar myths and deflection arguments that resurface time and time again.
Climate Trunk is suitable for secondary schools and can support lessons across:
The visuals and accompanying commentary are designed to explain, not persuade, helping students get to grips with how the climate system works, how the energy transition is progressing and the evidence behind its biggest debates.
Climate Trunk is a living resource.
A new infographic is published weekly, gradually expanding into a visual guide to climate change and the global energy transition. Schools build their collection over time, giving students a connected understanding of climate change and energy rather than isolated lessons.
