“The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) was charged with leading the UN’s efforts, producing an International Implementation Scheme for the decade. Since then, different nations have attempted to develop sustainability education programmes,” says Karl Hansen, Director for the Trust for Sustainable Living.
This year, the charity is introducing a new competition — The Schools Sustainability Challenge.
Winners will be announced at the International Schools Debate to be held in the UK from July 7 to 10 next year. The grand prize winner of the International Schools Essay Competition (plus teacher champion and parent) will receive a free trip to the International Schools Debate, while trophies will be awarded to the first five winners in each category. The winning school in the Schools Sustainability Challenge will win a trophy, together with a cash prize of £500.
