First International Meeting on Implementation of Education for
Sustainable Development for Higher Education Institutes (IMESD)
Stephen Sterling and William Scott were commissioned by DHO, the
Dutch network for sustainable higher education, to develop a report
on Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education in
England in preparation for an international meeting of academics and
ministerial representatives in Amsterdam in early February, under the
auspices of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), and its
strategy on ESD. One of the purposes of the meeting was to 'bridge
the gap between policy makers and higher education institutes'.
The report was drafted in consultation with Ann Finlayson, Education
Commissioner, UK Sustainable Development Commission, David Foxley,
Manager, Engineering Design Education, UK Royal Academy of
Engineering, and Joanna Simpson, Policy Adviser, Higher Education
Funding Council for England (HEFCE). It was discussed in Amsterdam
along with others from the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium (Flanders),
Spain and Germany.
The England report is attached.
