Abstract

Bourn reviews ways in which skills have been identified in relationship to achieving a sustainable society. Reference will be made to international debates, including those within OECD on ‘green skills’ and also the usage of the term ‘sustainable literacy’. Throughout the chapter whilst the aim will be to show the broader social and economic side of sustainable development, most of the examples and evidence referred to tends to focus on the environmental side.
