UK schools net zero by nation

England runs PSDS, CIF and the Mayor's funds; Scotland routes funding through the Scottish Government's Heat in Buildings Strategy and LAEPs; Wales commits to a Net Zero Wales 2030 public-sector target; Northern Ireland operates without PSDS-equivalent funding and depends on the NI Executive's capital programmes.

Wales's Net Zero Wales commits the public sector to net zero by 2030. Scotland targets 2038. England's DfE strategy commits to a credible trajectory but does not bind a 2030 public-sector date.

MATs straddling borders can stack PSDS in English schools with Scottish or Welsh national funding in others. Each scheme has different match-funding and procurement rules.

Published per-pupil capital allocations vary by nation and year; the four nation pages document the 2026 envelope in detail.
