ABSTRACT

Despite decades of attempts to embed sustainability within higher education, literature clearly suggests that, on the whole, the education sector has been relatively slow to incorporate sustainability knowledge and skill areas, and is generally poorly prepared to do so. Over the last decade our research team at The Natural Edge Project have developed many educational resources to accelerate the transition to education for sustainability. This chapter outlines a model that has been informed by these efforts working with our mentors around the world, who are leading the way.
