Sustainable Learning: Department for Education and Skills. Creating opportunity, releasing potential, achieving excellence

Local Authorities

Welcome to Sustainable Learning. This site will help schools to manage and reduce energy and water use.

As a Local Authority you will have been tasked with reducing carbon emissions across your buildings estate. Schools are likely to be a high proportion of your authority's carbon emissions, and will often need support if they are to achieve the savings you need to make.

Sustainable Learning provides a structured approach to utility management, which can help give the schools in your area a focus. Their progress will result in carbon savings and a national accreditation.  It can also help them with activity under the Eco-Schools programme.

Registering with this site will allow you to view registered schools in your authority. You will also be able to start or join in discussions with other authorities or with a mix of authorities and schools.
