成人直播

Here at 成人直播, we define sustainable development according to the UN SDGs, which work to create a better world by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change.聽Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is education聽that provides the knowledge, skills, behaviours and values needed to create a more equal, healthy聽and environmentally-friendly聽future. It empowers students to act and lead change to create this future, and we seek to embed it within all our programmes and disciplines.

The key roles of ESD are to:

• Play a transformative role in society by increasing awareness of global issues and developing personal capacity for change
• Foster the values, beliefs and behaviours that are important to a sustainable future in order to develop active, global citizens
• Enable us to understand how our lives are linked with others throughout the world
• Enable us to make decisions that consider the long-term future of all communities, protecting the natural environment while ensuring social justice and economic success.

At 成人直播 we continue to explore new ways to inspire our staff and students to understand聽sustainable development and its聽essential role in creating聽a just and fair society. This work is led by the聽Centre for Fusion Learning Innovation & Excellence聽(FLIE) and the Sustainability Academic Network聽Steering Group. Our work includes:

• Recognising and showcasing inspiring ESD practice by our academics through our聽annual Excellence in ESD Award
• Facilitating the , an informal network for staff to share and collaborate on ESD practice
• Delivering聽a sustainability module as part of the PGCert programme, which is delivered to all staff training to become a lecturer
• Actively promoting聽the SOS-UK聽SDG Teach-In
• Offering聽lectures from the Sustainability Team for a range of BU courses, from engineering to project management, and a sustainability workshop to student reps

We聽conduct an annual聽university-wide mapping process to assess how each unit aligns to the UNSDGs, using the聽 The process has been developed by academics from each Faculty and the Sustainability Team: you can聽see the here. You're welcome to use this tool at your university or school, but please聽let us know聽if you do!

In the 2023-24聽academic year, we found that 96% of programmes aligned to the UN SDGs and 62% include content around the climate and ecological crisis in every year of study.

We have set up the Sustainability Academic Network Steering Group, which is comprised of faculty leads and聽representatives from every academic department in BU. The faculty leads report聽directly to the Sustainability Committee and聽lead聽on embedding sustainable development in our education and research across BU. If you are interested in becoming a departmental representative, join the

After holding聽workshops with all programme leads聽to discuss the聽UN SDGs聽within courses during聽summer 2019, we also launched the聽,聽which is a space for all academics to share best practice and learn about聽introducing and embedding ESD聽into their teaching. The network of over 80聽staff from across faculties is welcome to all. If you are a member of staff and looking for ways to embed sustainability into your teaching and professional practice, join the

A Living Lab project could focus on a wide number of topics, including聽energy, transport, biodiversity, wellbeing, waste, food, behaviour change, community, our buildings and much聽more! If your project聽or research聽could聽help improve the University's environmental sustainability, we would love to hear from you.聽You can complete a Living Lab as a student researcher within your course or聽as a voluntary project.聽If you are an academic staff member, you can be a mentor to a student or host Living Labs as part of your assessments.Any student or staff聽projects aiming to improve the sustainability of the University can have access to a large array of data,聽information, and contacts.聽

Below is a list of potential future projects which you are welcome to take forwards,聽subject to your course requirements and聽discussions with the Sustainability Team.聽We really welcome new ideas for Living Labs research so if you have a suggestion for a project, let's talk!

Potential projects

• Staff and student interests and barriers in adopting low-carbon behaviours e.g. diet, travel聽
• Improving ethical and Fairtrade offerings and uptake
• Sustainable procurement guidance and criteria development
• Air quality monitoring
• Mobility as a Service (MaaS) study
• Calculating the carbon emissions of courses
• Creating short film promoting sustainable behaviours e.g. cycling routes in Bournemouth
• Impact of local biodiversity and nature on wellbeing
• Opportunities to enhance biodiversity on campus
• Communicating sustainability within a university setting
• Impacts of Covid-19 on environmental performance
• Offsetting university emissions
• Investigation of links between wellbeing, nature聽and environmental sustainability

Datasets

We have an incredible amount of data at the university for you to use in your projects or courses. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Bees on campus: we have a beehive on Christchurch House that collects data on the bees behaviour. This dataset would be useful for anyone studying ecology or data science.
• Energy and carbon emissions data
• Waste data
• Food data

At 成人直播, we have specific targets for embedding the UNSDGs into our teaching to drive action聽and report progress against. Our targets include:

• All programmes must align to at least one SDG by 2025/26
• All programmes must align to the climate and ecological crisis (C&EC) in the indicative content in at least one unit per level by 2025/26 (alignment to the C&EC is defined as alignment to one or more of聽UN SDGs 7,12,13,14 & 15)

As of June 2024, we have decided to incorporate an additional target to capture the importance of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) within the curriculum.聽

• All programmes must align to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the indicative content in at least one unit per level by 2025/26 (alignment to EDI is defined as alignment to one or both of UN SDGs 5 & 10)

Education has a vital role in addressing the climate and ecological crisis, as it can provide the knowledge, skills and values to tackle it. An objective聽within our CECAP is for the聽academic community聽to聽align education and research with the crisis, in terms of appropriate programme content, research outcomes, and the way we operate, including increasing crisis awareness and literacy.聽The key recommendations are to:聽

• Include the climate and ecological crisis in聽all programmes in the indicative content of at least one unit per level by 2025/26聽
• Continue to align all programmes to the UN SDGs
• Reward staff for aligning research with the聽crisis聽
• Encourage聽staff and students to use BU as a Living Lab聽
• Introduce staff and student development programmes, such as climate fresk聽and carbon literacy
