We are living in a moment of extraordinary change. With sustainability under pressure across sectors – educators and practitioners face both crisis and opportunity. Building on the successes of the 2023 and 2024 Forums, the virtual 2025 Sustainability Education Forum (SEF) on June 5 & 6 invites you to come together not just to exchange ideas, but to step into a deeper role: as catalysts and bold leaders. Together, we’ll share strategies, strengthen our schools and institutions, and shape the future of sustainability education in practical ways.

Our community is grappling with rising anxiety, political backlash, and systemic barriers to sustainability, climate and justice work. Additionally, educators are seeing growing pressures—from budget concerns and political debates to generational shifts in student expectations. This forum is your space to tackle that reality head-on—with courage, creativity, and collective insight. The SEF 2025 is not just a conference—it’s a space for authentic conversations, creative problem-solving, and meaningful collaboration where you set the agenda. Using a dynamic, participant-led model, you’ll choose the conversations that matter most, connect with peers, co-create solutions in real time and walk away with new tools and ideas ready to implement.

What to Expect

• Two days of highly participatory, peer-driven dialogue shaped by the needs and questions of the moment.
• Pre-scheduled “Invitation” sessions with speakers addressing climate justice and cultural climate change—anchoring our time together with depth and perspective.
• “Open Space” engaging discussions where you choose the topics—centered on the urgent questions we’re all carrying
• Opportunities to share your insights, ask critical questions, and refine your sustainability education approach
• A global community of like-minded educators who share your sense of urgency and commitment to action
• No travel required—connect deeply, save resources, and engage fully in an immersive online experience!

Who Should Attend?

This space is open to anyone in the sustainability education community:

• Faculty in any discipline incorporating sustainability education
• Educators developing sustainability literacy, curricula or degree programs
• Sustainability staff supporting academic initiatives
• Instructional designers helping faculty integrate sustainability into courses
• Anyone passionate about advancing sustainability education in higher education

Throughout the SEF, you will have plenty of chances to exchange ideas and make new professional connections, while gaining inspiration and an opportunity to recharge your own efforts. In tough times, strong networks and focused conversations make all the difference. It is these types of connections that serve us throughout the years; they make the hard times manageable and the good times fun. Join us and let’s make some good times — together!
