Heena Dave is an ESRC-funded PhD researcher at the University of Stirling and Co-Founder of CAPE (Climate Adapted Pathways for Education). Her research explores how school leaders create the conditions for climate change education to flourish, while through CAPE she has supported over 120 schools in England to deliver high-quality climate change education. By equipping leaders with evidence-informed strategies and curriculum design, Heena’s work is transforming practice in schools and shaping the experiences of thousands of children and young people, ensuring climate change education is not only taught but meaningfully embedded across school communities.
