This book brings together stories of the green schools movement ((Eco Schools, Enviroschools, Green Schools, Sustainable Schools, ResourceSmart Schools etc) in several countries around the world, with a focus on the impact of the movement on the development and implementation of education for sustainable development in each of the countries. In particular, each story will explain the history of the movement per country, its current status, achievements, obstacles and broader impact. There have been a number of evaluations of these school movements at a national or more local level, and numerous articles and chapters have been published on aspects of these schools’ activities, but to date these have not been brought together in a single volume that focuses attention on the impact of the movement on education for sustainable development in each country. This is the purpose of this volume. The green schools movement focuses on a whole school approach which aims to include everyone (students, teachers and the local community), to improve school environments, including resource usage and the environmental footprint of the school, to motivate students to take on environmental problems and seek resolutions particularly at a local level but also thinking globally, and to improve students' attitudes and behaviours as part of developing a sustainable mind set.

Leadership for Green Schools provides aspiring and practicing leaders with the tools they need to facilitate the design, leadership, and management of greener, more sustainable schools. Framed by theory and research, this text draws from the fields of sustainability science, built learning environment, and educational leadership to explain what green schools look like, what role school buildings play in advancing sustainable organizational and instructional practices, and why school leaders are "greening" their leadership. Sustainability can often seem like an unreachable, utopian set of goals, but this important resource uses illustrative examples of successful schools and leaders to show how establishing and managing green schools aligns with the work they are already doing to restore engaged learning within their schools and communities. Leadership for Green Schools is a unique and important resource to help leaders reduce the environmental impact of school buildings and immerse students in purposeful, meaningful learning for a sustainable, just future. Special Features: Examples from award-winning schools and leaders—best-practices and illustrative examples throughout make whole school sustainability come to life and show how green leadership is a real possibility for the reader. Aligned with Professional Standards for Educational Leadership—provides the tools necessary for leaders to advance sustainability goals while at the same time fulfilling the core purposes of their job. End-of-chapter discussion questions—valuable pedagogical tools invite personal reflection and conversation.

In order to achieve the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations, sustainable education in tropical developing regions will play a significant role with regard to the rapid growth in population, economy, and climate problems in these regions. The green school movement has been developing in the West for a few decades. The movement has vital influence in leading the global sustainable education system with their visions, themes, teaching curriculum, and green campus design. However, the promotion of green schools in tropical regions faces barriers due to a lack of awareness, and a regional poor education development. This research is aiming to generate design strategies for green schools in tropical developing regions based on theoretical and practical perspectives. In order to achieve this aim, a theoretical design framework will be built based on a summary of checklists from world-leading green school networks, presenting the up-to-date requirements of green schools, to a global standard. This theoretical framework is to examine and analyse green school practices from tropical developing regions. Previous award-winning green schools will be analysed under this summary of checklists. This process is to illustrate how much “green” they have achieved and to investigate their unique design solutions which can be a complement in building the design strategies for these regions. Two schools have achieved most of the requirements from the checklists. However, the result shows that some of the themes are poorly achieved and some of them have a very high rate of feasibility. Advanced solutions for dealing with energy resources, water treatment, sustainable land, school integration, and waste treatments have been applied in these schools at low cost and with simple maintenance. The benefits from green school practices in tropical developing regions play a significant role in these regions with their contribution of advanced design solutions. An updated design strategy based on theoretical and practical perspectives will be built at the end of the research as a primary design guide. This strategy is aiming to lead new schools from tropical developing regions towards becoming green learning facilities.

Environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) are asserting their growing role in curricula around the world, yet how deeply embedded are they in the learning systems of the Pacific nations? Building on an earlier analysis in China and Taiwan, this volume expands its purview to examine the quality and extent of environmental and sustainable development education in a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including China itself, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Indonesia. As well as offering detailed national analyses provided by Asian-Pacific academics and professionals, this work includes examples in the US and Canada and an introduction that assesses the contrasting challenges and positive commonalities among diverse education systems. The chapters reflect leading-edge practice, innovation, and depth of experience and at the same time as detailing locally relevant and culturally appropriate strategies they also provide clear models and strategies for expanding the application and influence of education for sustainable development elsewhere. In doing so, they mirror the global nature of environmental issues as well as the local nature of the solutions.

Today's learners are faced with an unprecedented set of global and local development challenges, yet so much education on offer is based on yesterday's thinkers, ideas and lessons. This book argues that development education should be embedded into the curriculum, where it has the potential to strengthen democracy and create a more equal society.
