Leading the way in Sustainable Development Training for the Professions
Professional Practice for Sustainable Development, or PP4SD as it is usually called, originated out of a seminar held by the Council for Environmental Education and the Environment Agency in 1999.
PP4SD has been working with professionals across a wide range of industry sectors to embed sustainable development into continuing professional development (CPD) programmes. PP4SD is a partnership project which currently involves the Institution of Environmental Sciences, the Environment Agency, the University of Swansea and the Society for the Environment.
PP4SD has worked with professional bodies in the construction, engineering, utilities, financial services and land-based industries as well as with private sector companies such as Barclays Bank and Tesco. PP4SD has published a two Foundation Courses in Sustainable Development for Professionals as a manual for CPD trainers and bespoke programmes. These can be downloaded from the website at www.pp4sd.org.uk or purchased below..
Advancing the sustainable development agenda beyond CPD
PP4SD has proven to be an effective research organisation having completed research projects on curriculum development in the learning and skills sector and in higher education. PP4SD has been a regular respondent to Government consultations on sustainable development policies and has given evidence to the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee. Promoting inter-professional dialogueis the central aim of PP4SD. This has been achieved through giving professionals a voice by organising events and publishing materials.
