About UKSSN

The UK Schools Sustainability Network is part of the Generation Action work coordinated by the environmental charity Global Action Plan which has the aim that by 2030, every child will leave school prepared to act collectively for the good of people and the planet.

Whether you are a school committed to sustainability, an educator passionate about transformative learning, or a student eager to make a difference, we invite you to join us on the journey toward a more sustainable and resilient future.

Our Mission

• Collaborate and support: to cultivate and support a national community, to enable learning, sharing, and collaboration on youth action and sustainability in education.

• Representation and inclusivity: as a neutral organisation we aim to hold a constructive and cooperative stance to involve as many people as possible. We will do this by hosting events that are representative, diverse, and inclusive.
