WELCOME
SSE Climate Connect Education Hub is a brand new knowledge bank for learners, parents and teachers who want to learn more about the environment and the environmental challenges we face. It explores how society along with companies like SSE Energy Solutions can address these issues head-on, and what opportunities this can provide for prosperous and meaningful careers. SSE Climate Connect offers education about the environment through curriculum-aligned classroom activities for teachers.
​
SSE Climate Connect aims to:
​
-
Educate young people about climate change and the importance of net zero carbon emissions
-
Promote renewable energy, environmental problem-solving, communication and STEM skills

Create educational, young-person-led learning materials linking with ‘sustainability and climate change strategy’ for education​
As part of SSE plc, a leading generator of renewable electricity in the UK, SSE Energy Solutions wants to ensure future generations can experience our unique natural resources for years to come. Transitioning to clean energy is essential, and this transition must be just, to benefit all society. This brings opportunities for young people, who’ll need the skills to build and operate green infrastructure.
​
That’s why SSE Energy Solutions has teamed up with award-winning education company, Rewise Learning, to deliver a brand-new schools programme, free to all participating schools.
