Advancing Education For Sustainability

A learning progression model for assessment, teaching activities and curriculum development.

We believe that education is central for transforming towards a sustainable future. The UN’s sustainable development goals are one tool that education can adopt to help build a strong social foundation, so that sustainable economies can exist and together societies and economies can protect and support our planet. In order to advance our education for sustainability, we feel that collaborating is vital and so consider the UN’s SDG 17 as a goal that connects all others together in a non-hierarchical relationship.

The Initiative

The aim of this project is to build a strong sustainable society that can provide a sustainable economy and protect the environment for all to enjoy. We have created this interactive education for sustainbility (ESD) teacher support toolkit. We want to create a collaborative network of ESD teachers to advance our education for sustainability action.
