This award winning book is at once a guide to and critique of sustainability education for trainee and in-service teachers, curriculum makers, school governors and anyone working with children aged 3 to 14. Now expanded to cover the most pressing topics in this vital area of education, this second edition features:

- Over 200 updated and additional activities linked to fully revised study units and key topics

· Advice, information and suggestions on climate change, citizenship and sustainability education in line with the latest curriculum requirements

· Added and revised case studies of teaching strategies written by teachers and educationalists from every continent.

· Provocative questions to help trainees reflect on their own ideas to turn theory into practice.

Its progressive framework for sustainability education is informed by research findings and learning theory, spanning all subject areas and settings. Age-specific teaching ideas span topics such as conservation, health, food, wildlife, climate change, social justice and sustainable living, as well as provocative questions designed to stimulate educational debate.

Key concepts and links to the UN Global Goals (SDGs), are highlighted throughout, and a companion website offers an extensive toolkit of specially prepared PowerPoint presentations and details of over 100 lectures, reports, picture books, websites and classroom and INSET teaching resources.
