National Education for Sustainability Network
About the Network
The National Education for Sustainability Network was established in May 2001 as an initiative under the Australian Government's National Action Plan on Environmental Education.
Purpose
The Network's purpose, consistent with the National Action Plan, is to improve inter-governmental coordination of the delivery of environmental education, promoting more efficient use of resources and better outcomes.
The Network mostly exchanges information electronically or in hard copy, with limited face-to-face contact to ensure participation costs are kept at a minimum.
Members
The Network comprises representatives from Commonwealth, State and Territory environment and education agencies.
Sustainable Schools Working Group
The Sustainable Schools Working Group was set up in 2001 to discuss a proposal from New South Wales to trial a Sustainable Schools program. Since then, the Working Group has overseen the development of the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative.
