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.

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.

Education for Sustainability Fund

For the 25/26 academic year, King’s Academy and King’s Climate and Sustainability are glad to announce a fund of £60,000 to support colleagues to embed sustainability in their curriculum. This fund aims to support King’s academic colleagues to integrate Education for Sustainability into their taught curriculum. It provides colleagues with the resource to think through how to integrate it with their subject and discipline and carry this through to enact lasting curriculum change. Ideally the fund will be used to develop core curricula so that EfS becomes part of every student’s core learning experience, rather than an only extra-curricular offering. Up to £10,000 is available for each project.
