Responsible Futures is a whole-institution approach to embed holistic sustainability in student learning at educational institutions. It is a supported change programme and accreditation mark, delivered in partnership with students. Responsible Futures puts sustainability at the heart of education.

Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS) and International Association of Universities (IAU), with seven invited institutions, launched an international pilot of the Responsible Futures programme. Together, the institutions and their students have worked to integrate sustainability into strategies and policies, embed sustainability across a broad range of disciplines, and center local/regional perspectives on sustainability. The seven pilot institutions co-created the programme including developing and international framework of good practice and structuring student-led audits to determine Responsible Futures accreditation.

The official international programme will launch in October 2024, and we are pleased to welcome prospective institutions to explore how Responsible Futures can support integrating sustainability in learning at your institution.

More information on the programme is available on the website.
