This working group draws on the variety of experience of its members and on the work of the other groups. It encourages education for sustainable development through church initiatives at local, national and regional levels, and at different educational responsibilities. For example, religious education in school or in church, theological education, Christian-initiated environmental education, promotion of models of sustainable living. The group also examines the role churches might play in promoting national strategies for education for sustainable development.
