We are pleased to share that the report on the role of subjects and subject associations in climate change and sustainability education in England has been released by the UCL.

This report is the outcome of an event held on 16 July 2024 which brought subject associations together to discuss the roles that they, and the subjects they represent, play in climate change and sustainability education in schools.

Delegates made a strong case for embedding climate change and sustainability education across the whole curriculum and providing tailored support to teachers. Given that subject associations exist to promote subject specialisms, a strong case was also made for them to take a lead in supporting teachers to respond to the climate and nature crisis in age- and subject-appropriate ways.

The report has just been published on UCL Discovery. The full report is attached or can be found here: https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10203551/
