Learning, teaching and research
Learning, teaching and research are at the heart of post-16 education and critical enablers of sustainability.
By embedding sustainability into curricula, learner attributes and professional development, institutions can equip students with the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to thrive in a changing world.
Add to this our world leading research and innovation sector, which generates the evidence, solutions and partnerships needed to tackle the environmental and societal challenges we face, and post-16 education really is a powerhouse of change for good.
Integrating sustainability into learning and research is not just about raising awareness: it also means working responsibly and with minimal environmental impact.
It strengthens employability, drives innovation, attracts funding and ensures our institutions remain relevant in a rapidly evolving policy and labour market context. Crucially, it also connects students, staff and communities as co-creators of solutions, making sustainability part of everyday academic life.
