Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Maturity Framework for Higher Education
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is engaging with stakeholders across the higher education sector to inform the development of a new Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Maturity Framework for Higher Education in Ireland.
The Framework is intended as a developmental resource to support institutions in reflecting on their progress and identifying opportunities to enhance ESD in alignment with the national ESD to 2030 Strategy. It will provide a structured way to consider how ESD principles are integrated across teaching and learning, and wider institutional practice, while recognising the diversity of contexts, missions and levels of development across the sector. Feedback is welcome using the feedback form provided.
The closing date for submissions is 13 February 2026 at 5.00pm.
