The Scottish curriculum, and education system, also have a crucial role to play and provide learners with many opportunities to develop the skills, capabilities, attributes, knowledge, motivation and behaviours to live sustainable lifestyles as informed and committed global citizens.

The Climate Change in Scottish Education Briefing provides a summary of how the theme of climate change is addressed in:

• national education policy

• professional learning and leadership

• the management of schools: school buildings, grounds and policies

• curriculum provision (curriculum content, learning and teaching, qualifications)
