(Policy #5, UBC, 1997)

Learning and Sustainability

In 2002, after extensive consultation with the public, the Canadian government introduced a Framework for Environmental Learning and Sustainability in Canada. Advocating for national ecological literacy, the framework provides recommendations for environmental and sustainability education at the K-12 and post-secondary levels across Canada. Internationally, the United Nations has designated 2005-2014 as the Decade of Education for Sustainability Development, offering strategic opportunities for continuing to integrate the Framework into practice in Canadian educational institutions.

Welcome to the eeCaucus website

Welcome to the website of the Environmental Education Caucus in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia. The Caucus was formed in 2005 by bringing together those who have a shared interest in furthering interest and initiatives in environmental education/sustainability education within the Faculty of Education at UBC. Caucus members include faculty who have an interest in environmental issues, students whose research focuses on education as it relates to the ecological, and a variety of other community members from across the various departments and centres within the Faculty of Education. Motivated by a desire to further UBC’s environmental education agenda, this group has started a colloquium series, initiated this website, and developed a post-baccalaureate certificate program in environmental education, an environmental education teacher education cohort and graduate courses in environmental education. We invite you to explore this website to learn more about us, and encourage you to let us know if you would like to join the EE Caucus and receive information about upcoming meetings and events through our email listserve. To join the listserve, please send a request to:norat@interchange.ubc.ca.
