“…In regards to climate change Selby and Kagawa (Jenkins, 2003) affirm that climate change needs to be approached in an interdisciplinary manner and not associate it as a science subject. For example, an international study on climate change education reveals that it is mostly associated with the science subjects and in many cases it is addressed only within science education (Rolls et al, 2009). Similarly, in regards to teacher education, UNESCO has formulated teacher education courses specially meant for teachers.…”

This paper attempts to investigate the concept of green leadership towards creating a greener environment through addressing issues of climate change and global warming. This initiative has been undertaken because principals take on a leading role in climate change education. As such an exploratory study was undertaken aimed at eliciting the views of principals about climate concepts and their opinions about green leadership. A survey using Likert type scale was implemented and the data was analysed using SPSS according to the survey methods conventions. Current work also consists of a thorough meta-analysis on available research in form of literature review in pertinent field. Findings reveal that the efforts taken by school principals are appreciable but a lot more can be done by them. Likewise, there is advisement for principles as to how they can undertake eco-friendly drives and become effective green leaders. This paper provides opportunities for reflection for curriculum developers and teacher educators and it hopes to encourage dialogue among policy makers, educators, stakeholders and also provides a solid platform for further research.

The article aims to explore the following question: ‘How is education for sustainable development and health education in schools approached and contextualized at a municipal level, and what contradictions and tensions might local structures imply for sustainable health promoting school development?’ Based on interviews with key agents at the municipal level in Denmark and drawing on a knowledge exchange network, the article identifies and discusses the following three themes across education for sustainable development and health education: (i) autonomy, engagement and ownership; (ii) open frameworks and invitations to ‘run with the ball’; and (iii) ad hoc professional development. A main conclusion in the article is that local approaches are largely based on plurality and voluntarism, and are formed around enthusiasts. There is a risk that this framework becomes so flexible that it ‘falls apart’ in the balance between rigidity and flexibility.
