The role of Tertiary Education
Why consultation in the UK?
At the Rio Summit it became clear how important the role of tertiary education is
Drivers:
Green Economy and new frameworks (GDP+)
Research and Problem solving
Behaviour change (Citizenship)
Lack of vision and action at political level

The role of Tertiary Education
The consultation questions
1 - Which supporting mechanisms should government and civil society put in place to enable and strengthen UK delivery of the educational commitments agreed in the Future We Want?

The role of Tertiary Education
2 - What actions are your organisation/institution/party taking to facilitate delivery on this agenda immediately, in the near future (by 2015) and in the longer term (next 10 years)?
11
The role of Tertiary Education
Some emerging themes
Calling on the Government to
provide cross-departmental coordination and collaboration;
endorse and support those institutions and organisations that lead the way with good practice;
Realign funding and focus and long term
12
The role of Tertiary Education
support the growth of green jobs to help the almost 1m unemployed young people;
consider a legislative approach that challenges and nudges the sector rather than dictates
13
The role of Tertiary Education
Calling on civil society
To listen to the voice of youth;
NGOs should overcome narrow focused agendas and aim to collaborate on this agenda, with each other, and the formal education sector;
Education sector should collaborate closely with local communities
14
The role of Tertiary Education
Education sector to offer leadership in SD and act as beacons of good practice in society
