Climate Toolkits
Welcome to Flintshire County Council’s Climate Toolkits. These toolkits have been created to support Schools and Town & Community Councils to measure and understand their carbon emissions, determine a means to reduce those emissions and engage with others to support and influence action.
The main Toolkit documents are presented below for both Schools and Town & Community Councils, with supporting tools in the drop-down sections, all of which can be downloaded and saved.

The two following Toolkit documents are central to the Climate Toolkits, providing all the information users need to understand climate change, its impacts and how the tools can be used. Click on the relevant link to download the toolkit that’s required.

In the following drop-down sections are the various tools users can use to calculate carbon emissions, plan emission reductions, and engage with others.
Tools and Guidance
The environmental assessment is a simple to use learner-led audit of a school’s environmental behaviours and practices. It covers the topics of energy usage, waste, biodiversity, transport, and water usage.
This activity can be conducted before a school begins its carbon footprint calculation and serves as a simple introduction to the toolkit for both staff and learners as well as information gathering.
