Sustainability Education
The Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has commissioned the Australian Research Institute in Education for Sustainability (ARIES) at Macquarie University to conduct research into how to move beyond simply raising awareness to achieve the attitudinal and behavioural changes necessary to live sustainably.
Priorities are set by the Department, in consultation with the National Environmental Education Council (NEEC) and the National Environmental Education Network (NEEN). Research projects are identified and managed by the Department.
The research program aims to identify key factors and impediments influencing education for sustainability, evaluate existing approaches, and develop effective educational materials and programs to promote behaviour change towards the sustainable use of Australia's resources.
