Vision
The transformation of the University of Plymouth from an institution characterised by significant areas of excellence in ESD to an institution modelling university-wide excellence and hence able to make a major contribution to ESD regionally, nationally and internationally.

Sustainability Policy and Action Plan Development: Background Research
Collection and analysis of existing HEI Sustainability and Environmental Policies from the UK and other English-speaking countries and some francophone countries
Collection and analysis of all existing University of Plymouth Policies, Strategies and Plans
![Page 6: Pilgrims Progress: the Slopes, Peaks and Sloughs of a Sustainability Policy Consultation Pilgrims Progress: the Slopes, Peaks and Sloughs of a Sustainability.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55161427550346cf6f8b63cb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HEI Sustainability Policy/Strategy Analysis Exclusive concentration on or overemphasis of
environmental dimensions of sustainability Most fail to convey sustainability as involving a
dynamical interplay between culture, environment, economy, health, peace and social justice dimensions
Have a ‘behind closed doors’ feel – no reference to their being the outcome of a consultation process; no reference to future revision through periodic consultation
Many have a heavy estates emphasis; curriculum-lite Most seem caught in a Bruntland time warp Little reference to the contested nature of the field

The Sustainability Policy
Formally accepted by Chancellery; subject to ratification by Governors
Adopts the ‘4C’ approach Holistic interpretation of sustainability Signals contested nature of the area Simultaneous signing of range of international
covenants Commitment to three-year consultations in review: a
‘live’ document To be monitored by Environment Committee

Lessons Learned:
Anticipate hi-jacks (but don’t be thrown by them)
Marry the ‘formal’ with the ‘flow’ Engaging students means asking students
how they can be best engaged Wide and deep consultation is a
stretch………. Other lessons …
