Abstract

This research set out to provide a picture of current sustainability and climate change education (SCCE) provision within teacher education in the UK against which future priorities could be determined. Our principal research instrument was an online survey, which attracted 79 Responses from 47 institutions. We also gathered 19 case studies from specific institutions; these are presented in a special issue of the NAEE-UK Journal, Environmental Education (published January 2026). Key findings are outlined n the executive summary of the report. The key message from this survey is to take sustainability and climate change education seriously, build on the great work that is already going on and thereby support a wide range of other priorities that ensure the well-being of learners and teachers across education.
