In March 2013 Scottish Ministers accepted all thirty-one recommendations of the Learning for Sustainability (LfS) report.

The LfS National Implementation Group was established in February 2014 to deliver on these recommendations. The publication of the Vision 2030+ report in March 2016 marked the end of the tenure of the National Implementation Group. This report to ministers documented the progress that has been made and set out a vision for LfS through to 2030 and beyond.

In June 2019, the Deputy First Minister, John Swinney MSP, launched the Learning for Sustainability Action Plan which sets out specific actions that Scottish Government and other key partners will take to address the strategic recommendations of the Vision 2030+ Report.
