University College London’s Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education has launched Teaching for Sustainable Futures, a free online professional development programme for teachers. The aim of the programme is to help teachers across all subjects and age phases to embed issues of climate change and sustainability into their teaching practice. Currently UCL offer subject-specific modules for history and geography. More are coming soon including mathematics and English – sign up below to be notified when more subjects become available.
Key features include:
- Free for all teachers, accessible online at any time.
- Tailored to individual subjects and to primary and secondary age phases.
- Research-informed.
- Quality assured by UCL.
- Aligned with the National Curriculum in England but adaptable to any classroom setting.
UCL has also created a 35-minute film for anyone working in a school called Looking to the future: an introduction to climate change and sustainability in schools.

For an introduction to the programme, you are warmly invited to attend an online taster session on 5 December, 4.15-5.30pm. The first 20 minutes will introduce the programme and explain how you can use our introductory film in training events. There will then be three optional breakout sessions: primary (history and geography); secondary history and secondary geography. Please register for the event here.
