UN Sustainable Development Goals

The work carried out by Learning for Sustainability Scotland aligns with all 17 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe we have a part to play as a membership organisation to roll out the aims and values of the SDGs across Scotland, across all sectors.

Our members, too, are finding more ways to align with the SDGs and we are always looking for ways to help promote our members work.

A new task group is being set up by Learning for Sustainability Scotland members. If you would like to know more, please click HERE.

Consultancy, Facilitated Workshops & Talks

RCE Scotland / LfS Scotland is delighted to have been invited to take part in consultancy work that supports our members' aims and objectives.  We have worked on in-depth, independent reviews of programmes for large organisations and we have consulted on projects that include lfs. We also work with organisations to develop their lfs activities and we can deliver workshops or talks on lfs and the SDGs.
