What responsibility do Outdoor Learning Professionals have to sustain our climate and biodiversity?
The Outdoor Learning Professional is ideally placed to influence and educate those we come into contact with, children and adults, about climate change and biodiversity threats, impact and possible solutions.
The IOL Code of Conduct highlights Members responsibility for Sustainable Outdoor Practice and Care of the Environment:
- Members should conserve the natural environment, endorsing the principles of sustainable use and minimum impact.
- Members should be sensitive to the impact of their operation on the local community and cultural setting within which they work and minimise any adverse effects.
- Members should seek to develop their own, and others’, understanding of the environment and the behaviours that can adversely affect it.
The goal of Future Footprints is to develop an understanding of, and desire to achieve, a sustainable future environment on our planet through engagement in Outdoor Education.
