Jamaica's commitment to the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development builds on 12 years of environmental education initiatives within the framework of a national action plan. Partnerships developed among educational institutions, government agencies, NGOs and donors are facilitating change in the formal education system, integrating environmental education into teacher professional development and national curricula; involving the school college community in participatory planning; and implementing whole college approaches. This paper will present the EESD strategies, successes, challenges and lessons learned in facilitating the development of knowledge, skills, values and actions to create and take advantage of opportunities in our changing world.
