We have a chance to influence what comes next – and make sure the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of how Scotland measures success. \n\n\n\nThe Deputy First Minister has set out proposals for six high-level National Outcomes\, cross-cutting perspectives (or “lenses”)\, and a stronger focus on “ways of working” and implementation. \n\n\n\nThe NPF could be a vital tool for policy coherence\, helping Scotland deliver on the SDGs and align public and private action. Does the current proposal get us there? What is missing\, and what would make implementation real rather than rhetorical? \n\n\n\nWe will use the Government’s own prompts as a starting point\, including how your work connects to the proposed outcomes\, how cross-cutting perspectives should be reflected\, and what stronger accountability\, transparency and culture change could look like in practice. \n\n\n\nIf you care about how Scotland sets direction\, measures what matters\, and makes long-term decisions\, please come along – either in-person or online – and add your voice. \n\n\n\nClick here to find out more and book your place.

Planetary Health offers an integrated\, transdisciplinary framework that addresses these interconnected challenges by placing human well-being within the context of Earth’s natural systems.While COP30 (to be held in Belém\, Brazil in 2025) represents a critical political moment to advance climate action globally\, education remains a powerful yet under-utilised lever for long-term transformation. Embedding Planetary Health into education systems—from primary schools to professional training—can empower citizens\, leaders\, and communities with the knowledge\, values\, and skills necessary to co-create a sustainable and equitable future. \n\n\n\nClick here for full details and to reserve your FREE place. Who is the event for?\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n● Educators\, researchers\, and students● Policymakers in all related areas● Youth and student organizations● Civil society and environmental NGOs● Indigenous leaders and traditional knowledge holders● International organizations (e.g.\, WHO\, UNESCO\, UNEP) \n\n\n\nWhat are the expected outcomes?\n\n\n\n● A shared understanding of the importance of Planetary Health education for climate action.● A set of recommendations to feed into the official COP30 processes and legacy initiatives.● Strengthened networks among educators\, institutions\, and civil society committed to transforming education for a healthy planet.● A public-facing communiqué or declaration on Planetary Health Education for COP30. \n\n\n\nClick here for full details and to reserve your FREE place. Supporting partners and organisations:\n\n\n\nPlanetary Health AllianceUniversity of São PauloPlanetary Health Brazil NetworkScotland’s United Nations University recognised Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development – Learning for Sustainability Scotland  URL:https://learningforsustainabilityscotland.org/events/educating-for-a-healthy-planet-advancing-planetary-health-literacy-on-the-road-to-cop30/ CATEGORIES:Colleges,Communities,Policy engagement,Schools and early learning,Universities,Youth ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://learningforsustainabilityscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Educating-for-COP30-Page-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251003T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251003T163000 DTSTAMP:20260503T213259 CREATED:20250918T160208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250919T130743Z UID:9624-1759500000-1759509000@learningforsustainabilityscotland.org SUMMARY:Celebrating Scotland's Climate Week with Imagining Possible Futures DESCRIPTION:***For Youth Workers and the young people they work with*** \n\n\n\n\nWe all have a story to tell about our changing planet.\n\n\n\nWe all have fears\, hopes and dreams...\n\n\n\nBut have you ever wondered how stories and cardboard theatre can connect sustainability to your life??\n\n\n\n\nJoin us in person to explore how you can use your creativity to break barriers and spark bold\, imaginative and courageous ideas for sustainable futures. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nClick here to book your free place(s) (please note that numbers are limited!)

To do this\, we need responses from people and organisations across Scotland.” \n\n\n\nJoin us and colleagues from Scottish Government as we explore and shape a response to the consultation on the proposed Wellbeing and Sustainable Development (Scotland) Bill. \n\n\n\nThis ‘aims to improve decision making and the implementation of the National Performance Framework to ensure that all policy and delivery accounts for wellbeing and sustainable development.’ \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to this timely and useful discussion. This report from the Scottish Leaders’ Forum may also be of interest in preparing for this event. \n\n\n\nBook your place here.

Since its first iteration in 2021 for COP26\, over 10\,000 people from over 160 countries have taken part in this collaborative\, facilitated learning opportunity. \n\n\n\nThe course will run during the United Nations COP28 Climate Change Conference which takes place in the United Arab Emirates between 30 November to 14 December. \n\n\n\nThis course offers you an opportunity to examine what COP28 is\, why it’s considered to be important and reflect on how you can add your voice to the call for collective action for a sustainable future. \n\n\n\nThroughout the course\, we will share ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP28\, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people\, community groups and ministerial bodies\, both nationally and internationally. Using these ‘starting points’\, we will invite you to reflect on what you have heard\, watched and read\, and think about what these conversations and issues mean to you. \n\n\n\nCourse content from Live at COP28 will remain open\, free and accessible as a legacy resource for school\, community and individual use beyond COP28. \n\n\n\nSign up here now. Complete the course before 14 December to receive a FREE certificate of participation.

In this Connect session we will have an opportunity to review the policy and give input on what is needed to ensure that Learning for Sustainability is woven across the expectations of teachers entering the profession today. \n\n\n\nWe ask that you take some time\, if possible\, ahead of the session to familiarise yourself with the Memorandum of Understanding. \n\n\n\nClick here to reserve your FREE place.
