Sustainable development is about finding ways for everyone to enjoy a better quality of life, without damaging the environment and without compromising the quality of life of future generations.

For information about supporting your school on its journey to sustainability, on introducing the principles of sustainable development and on offering guidance about how to embed these principles into the heart of school life, visit the TeacherNet Sustainable Schools website.
