The state of environmental, sustainability and climate education in UK schools and effective practice in the classroom.
This report, commissioned by the UK National Association for Environmental Education (NAEE), explores effective practices in delivering environmental, sustainability and climate education in schools across the United Kingdom. Drawing on a comprehensive review of academic and grey literature, as well as relevant case studies, the report identifies key factors that contribute to high-quality educational experiences for young people in the UK.
The importance of environmental, sustainability and climate education is clear, as it fosters positive environmental attitudes, critical thinking skills, student engagement, and personal development. In the UK, recent policy developments, such as the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy in England and curriculum reform in Wales and Scotland, have highlighted the growing emphasis on this area of education.
