When environmental and sustainability education is incorporated into the school curriculum, students:
learn about the environment
develop skills to investigate and solve issues in the environment
acquire attitudes of care and concern for the environment
adopt behaviours and practices which protect the environment, and
understand the principles of ecologically sustainable development
The future looks precarious with present conditions on planet Earth unprecedented. Our survival as a species requires that sustainability, in all its dimensions (environmental, social, economic, governance and personal), becomes a priority in all areas of human endeavour.
The Australian Education for Sustainability Alliance is comprised of organisations from the education, union, youth and environment sectors that want a higher prioritisation of sustainability in the education system. We are achieving this by advocating and lobbying for best practice education for sustainability policy to fulfil our vision of a sustainable Australia.
