Sustainability in the HE curriculum: the drivers and direction

In February 2007 there was an international meeting in Amsterdam to discuss the implementation of education for sustainable development within HE curricula in Western European countries. The England position paper, submitted at the time, documented the authors’ views of the positive and negative activities and processes affecting the embedding of sustainability in the curriculum (Sterling and Scott, 2007).

This mini piece of research has been conducted 14 months later to reassess the situation and this short summary outlines the results, focusing on current drivers and the direction of the ESD agenda.

The research was conducted on behalf of the Centre for Sustainable Futures at the University of Plymouth. Many EAUC Members contributed to this work.
