Greening the FE & HE Sectors: Promoting Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability

30th May 2012 16:06

Govtoday is proud to present their 2nd Annual National Greening the FE & HE Sectors Conference and Exhibition: Promoting Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability, to be held on Wednesday 30th May 2012.

The Government has announced its top priority as growth, reinforcing its ‘Greenest ever Government’ commitment, and pledging to focus on sustainable growth that is both balanced and shared.

Key to reaffirming the requirement for sustainable growth was the realisation of the important role education plays in recovery. In November 2010, The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills published the ‘Skills for Sustainable Growth’ Strategy Document, which demonstrated that skills are vital to our future, and that improving skills is essential to building stronger communities.

In light of the Sustainable Growth Agenda, the Further and Higher Education Sectors have been placed in the unique position of playing a leading role in the development of change, embedding sustainability within the heart of education and implementing the sustainable skills required for the transition to a low carbon economy.
