Why is sustainability education so important?

• It allows primary and secondary school students to have an active voice in the conversation around sustainability.
• It can develop their problem solving, critical thinking and participation skills in making informed decisions in relation to climate action
• The Government are building on a national strategy for sustainability education-the National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development will work on achieving Ireland’s commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
• The Galway Youth Climate Assembly was launched last year as the first of its kind in the country and has inspired other local events around the country for students to discuss sustainability.

 

What can I do to help support sustainability education issues?

• Teachers can use resources on sustainblity to educate their pupils in classrooms-such as the EcoEd4all programme for Transition Year students
• Encouraging young people to get outside and connect with nature such as taking part in weekly local nature walks like those in Merlin Woods or cycling to school.
• Contacting local politicians in relation to sustainability education issues.
