Learning for Sustainability Action Plan now live

A refreshed action plan placing sustainability at the centre of the Scottish education system has been launched – including an ambitious commitment to ensure that every school and early learning setting will be sustainable by 2030.

Learning for Sustainability features 25 actions, and follows nine months of collaboration with children, young people and their educators.

Further actions in the report include:

• Developing new LfS related qualifications with programme owners so that achievements and learning on LfS are fully recognised.
• A new commitment to take further steps to support Outdoor Learning.
• Creating a new portal which will act as a one stop shop for learners and educators to share examples of LfS in action and to signpost to relevant resources and professional learning opportunities.
• Establishing a LfS Mentor Network for educators to encourage collaborative leadership, provide peer support and share approaches on embedding LfS in the curriculum.
• Setting up a children and young people LfS Leadership Group to ensure meaningful collaboration with learners throughout the implementation of this refreshed action plan.
