One of the targets defined by the university’s Education for Sustainable Futures Policy to help the university meet its aims has been to build a baseline audit of ESF.

The strategic plan also recognises that students should be partners in the development of their sustainability literacy and it recognises the need to ensure our academic and professional services staffs are well informed and able to facilitate the embedding of sustainability as appropriate into the formal, informal and campus curricula. Amongst its outcomes our Strategic Plan proposes that “significant enhancement of the curriculum to support the principles of Education for Sustainable Futures (ESF) will prepare students for their future by introducing them to new mind sets and strategies, and will prepare them for a participatory democracy.” The reference to curriculum constitutes not only education through the formal credit bearing programmes and certificates, but also the ‘informal curriculum’ (involving a wide range of extra-curricular activities) and the ‘campus curriculum’. As stated by the QAA’s guidance “there are many ways in which this may be achieved” and delivery should not be prescriptive. Canterbury Christ Church University Strategic Plan (2011-2015) is committed to developing students’ understanding of the challenges to our common future and the need for sustainable development of communities, economies, and our environment.
