Sustainable development is identified in Curriculum for Excellence as an important theme, along with enterprise, citizenship, international education and creativity, which needs to be developed in a range of contexts. Learning relating to these themes is therefore built in to the experiences and outcomes across the curriculum.
Learning and Teaching Scotland have provided resources to support learning and teaching on sustainable development and action is being taken by the Scottish Government and partners as part of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. Learning for Change sets out the Scottish Government's approach for the second half of the UN decade as we work to integrate the principles of sustainable development into all forms of education in Scotland - both formal and informal. This is supported by supporting sections on
on schools, universities and colleges, and Community Learning and Development.
