Equality & Equity

Equality offers everyone the same chances, while equity addresses the unique challenges faced by marginalised groups, such as those impacted by gender, disability or socio-economic disparities. In this theme, the focus is on inclusive participation and recognising that climate change and pollution disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Equality and equity are essential to student wellbeing and long-term sustainability, as safe, informed, and respected students are better able to engage in learning, collective action, and environmental responsibility.

Use what you’ve learned from your lessons, your Eco-Schools activities, and your own observations, to take action! Work together to turn your ideas into real change by creating an Action Plan for Equality & Equity. Mobilise your Eco-Committee, teachers, school staff, parents, and the wider community to help you reach your goals.

Whatever actions you choose, make sure they are realistic, measurable, and long-lasting, so your Eco-Committee’s work continues to grow year after year.
