Organisation:HEFCE
Issued:Tue 24 June 2008
Deadline: 29 August 2008
Status: CLOSED Consultation is closed for comments
Synopsis:In July 2005 HEFCE published 'Sustainable development in higher education' (HEFCE 2005/28):

http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/hefce/2005/05_28/

which set out their approach to promoting the sustainable development agenda. It contained a strategic statement, a 10-year vision and an action plan until the end of 2007. This is a consultation on an updated strategic statement and action plan to support HE's contribution to sustainable development. It is structured around the four roles identified for HEFCE in the first sustainable development strategy (HEFCE 2005/28):
  • engaging with stakeholders to bring about policy synergies on sustainable development
  • building the capacity of people to manage sustainable development
  • sharing good practice, or supporting the development of good practice where none exists
  • rewarding more sustainable behaviour.
