Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College won the 2022 Sustainability Award from SFCA for their work with Greener Sussex.
In the Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS UK) 2021 survey in advance of COP26, 90% of the 1,200 respondents in FE and HE said that they were concerned or very concerned about climate change. Our students want us to make a commitment to addressing the climate crisis in a visible, active, and effective way, and to have a voice in that themselves, both in terms of their skills development for the green economy and in terms of climate emergency awareness. As part of meeting our responsibilities to our young people, every educator, whatever their role in college, can make the most of naturally-occurring opportunities to embed sustainability and climate education into their work, as well as making the more obvious connections.
