OUR PEOPLE

We would not be where we are today without the incredible support of countless individuals and networks. From the start, with Join EDuC, the 6 dedicated members of our working group and 25 participants in our stakeholder consultation donated their time generously because of their strong belief in the power of education for sustainable development and the need to accelerate change in higher education. For Back to School for the Planet (BTSP), we could never have begun without the support of participating program leaders and faculty, as well as fellow sustainability facilitators and advisors.

Since 2020, more than 100 deans, accreditation managers, program directors, faculty members and other leaders across education from around the world have sat down with us to share their perspectives on the integration of sustainability content in higher education institutions. More recently, representatives from 5 universities in France, Spain and the Netherlands trusted us to pioneer the EDuC Label accreditation process in their programs, and in 2024 a Malaysian university was the first to implement EDuC Metrics at their institution.

This is in addition to the dozens of experts, consultants, mentors, volunteers, freelancers, and interns whose invaluable contributions have shaped our journey – their talents in many cases only being rivalled by their advocacy for sustainability and education. Their commitment and insights continue to inspire and propel us forward in our mission to accelerate transformative change.
