Embedding sustainability into education and the student experience

We are training the next generation of global changemakers who strive to address the climate emergency and shape climate action. By embedding sustainability into the curriculum and integrating climate research into our teaching across our faculties, all King’s students will have access to environmental and sustainability education.

King’s Strategy 2026 strengthens the university’s commitment to Education for Sustainable Development. By 2026, we will provide environment, climate and sustainability taught and extra-curricular education for all King’s undergraduates, and expand our research-enhanced postgraduate programmes alongside Continuing Professional Development and Executive Education. Professor Rachel Mills is the Senior Sponsor for this work and our Education Working Group facilitates and monitors progress in this area.

Education for Sustainability model, including mandatory and optional ways of embedding sustainability into education

A broad programme of extra-curricular activities help students learn, gain experience and be empowered to take climate action.

Sustainability resources for staff: EfS toolkit

From 2024, we have developed an Education for Sustainability (EfS) Toolkit, which is available to all staff via SharePoint. Developed by King’s Climate and Sustainability (KCS) and King’s Academy, this Toolkit aims to provide King’s staff of all levels - from GTAs to module leads and programme directors - with the tools, support and resources to embed Education for Sustainability in their teaching practice.
