Promoting Education For Sustainable Development

The Sustainability and Stories project provides schools and educators with access to online sustainability teaching resources

The project centres on the use of children’s stories to promote education for sustainable development (ESD) as well as other teaching ideas and whole school approaches. 

We have also tailored resources for small island developing states (SIDS) to align with local frameworks.

Stories About Sustainability

Our team has curated a collection of children's books about sustainability.

 Each story is accompanied by free teaching resources. These resources include lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, and suggested activities.

Waste

Children's books about waste and reducing waste. 

Water

Children's books about waterways and water conservation. 

Energy

Children's books about energy and energy conservation.

Conservation

Children's books about habitats, plants, and animals. 

Climate Change

Children's books about climate change.

Taking Action

Children's books about taking action to promote sustainability. 

Whole School Approaches

We have compiled examples of successful whole school sustainability initiatives from around the world.

These examples highlight some outstanding but achievable practices in schools around the world. Projects do not have to be on a large scale to be effective.
