4th Istanbul Education Summit | A New Sustainable School Culture

Building a sustainable school culture involves aligning practices with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as using energy-efficient infrastructure, reducing waste, and integrating sustainability into the curriculum to foster environmental awareness and problem-solving skills. Schools can empower students to become sustainability advocates by incorporating topics like climate action and responsible consumption, while hands-on projects and community initiatives demonstrate practical impact. Engaging students and staff through eco-friendly events and sustainability committees fosters shared responsibility, and measuring progress ensures continuous improvement in reducing the school’s environmental footprint.
