How are we teaching the Sustainable Development Goals?

With COP27 taking place this week, Ross invites fellow sustainable development enthusiasts Helen Sundaram and Eve Jardine-Young onto the pod to discuss the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Join us this week as we discuss how the 'global to-do list' is being taught in schools and what the future holds for this crucial subject.

Helen founded The Kindness Bank in 2021 and works with schools to support their delivery of the SDGs in the classroom. She is campaigning to have the SDGs firmly embedded within the UK's National Curriculum.

Eve grew up in Malawi, has worked in engineering and is the Principal of leading independent girls' school: Cheltenham Ladies College. Eve feels it is crucial to not just talk about the SDGs but for school leaders to act on them. Eve tells us how her school is on track to not only reach net-zero by 2030 but to be carbon positive by then too!
