In April 2022, the UK Government published its policy paper titled Sustainability and Climate Change: A Strategy for the Education and Children's Services Systems. The policy supports a drive for all UK schools to be "zero carbon" by 2030 and announces long term and consistent policies and funding to enable this (in line with wider Government targets for the UK to be carbon neutral by 2050). The policy ensures there will be investment in training teachers in education for sustainable development across the curriculum, and in equipping colleges and schools to give all learners a connection to nature. The Government also commits to investing in adapting and retrofitting the school estate and the Department for Education commits to improving their building specifications, so that all new school buildings from 2022 onwards will be net zero carbon.To support these ambitions, by 2025 every school is mandated to have a Climate Action Plan that will result in zero carbon status. Each school will have a trained staff member who acts as a Sustainability Lead and Climate Literacy Training will be offered to every school with sustainability embedded as a statutory feature of careers guidance.The sustainability responsibility will ultimately rest with site managers (referred to as School Business Managers in schools). The biggest challenges for those managing compliance are they are often reactive, limited by budget, resource and time. There is also often a lack of safety mindset, not necessarily driven by the individual but by the myriad of regulations and legislation they need to interpret and understand. The additional sustainability requirements outlined above will add further weight to these challenges.iAM Compliant was established in 2016 to provide schools and businesses with a one stop shop for premises, health and safety compliance and cut through the red tape. The iAM Compliant platform offers a seamless interface and cloud-hosted solution that brings all the information users need into one central place. Having pushed the innovation boundaries from the outset, the iAM Compliant platform is used by over 500 UK state schools.The main goal of this Innovation Loan project is to extend the current platform's functionality to provide the world's first digital tool for schools to guide them through the process of creating their own Climate Action Plan and help them become more sustainable. The platform will be supported by the development of best in class, accredited learning content.

2022年4月，英国政府发布了题为《可持续发展与气候变化：教育和儿童服务系统战略》的政策文件。该政策支持推动所有英国学校到2030年实现“零碳”，并宣布长期一致的政策和资金来实现这一目标（与英国政府到2050年实现碳中和的更广泛目标一致）。该政策确保在整个课程中对教师进行可持续发展教育培训，并为学院和学校提供装备，使所有学习者都能与自然建立联系。政府还承诺投资改造和改造学校地产，教育部承诺改善其建筑规范，以便从2022年起所有新学校建筑将实现净零碳排放。为了实现这些目标，到2025年，每所学校都被要求制定一项气候行动计划，以实现零碳排放。每所学校都将有一名训练有素的工作人员担任可持续发展领导，每所学校都将提供气候素养培训，并将可持续发展作为职业指导的法定特征。可持续发展的责任最终将落在场地管理者（在学校被称为学校业务管理者）身上。对于那些管理遵从性的人来说，最大的挑战是他们通常是被动的，受预算、资源和时间的限制。他们也经常缺乏安全意识，这并不一定是由个人驱动的，而是由他们需要解释和理解的无数法规和法律所驱动的。上述额外的可持续性要求将进一步加重这些挑战。iAM合规成立于2016年，旨在为学校和企业提供一站式的场所，健康和安全合规服务，并减少繁文缛节。iAM兼容平台提供了一个无缝接口和云托管解决方案，将用户需要的所有信息集中到一个中心位置。从一开始就推动了创新的界限，iAM合规平台被500多所英国公立学校使用。这个创新贷款项目的主要目标是扩展现有平台的功能，为学校提供世界上第一个数字工具，指导他们制定自己的气候行动计划，并帮助他们变得更加可持续。该平台将通过开发一流的、经过认证的学习内容来支持。
