The report cites Bristol initiatives such as the Bristol Plus Sustainability Award, and a systematic review that resulted in a series of ESD-related curriculum reforms, as examples of translating policy into effective practice. The summary states that, at Keele and Bristol in particular, ‘a key success factor is not simply the breadth and depth of activities but the coherence already being achieved between them’.
The report concludes:
‘Both institutions have comparatively long track records in sustainability and have now generated a wide range of inter-related activities and a good level of student engagement. […] In the other Green Academy institutions, plans are being implemented with the aim of achieving a similar degree of integration. […] Institutions like Keele and Bristol provide good examples of what can be achieved.’
