About

Welcome message

The Sustainability Learning Lab (SLL) is a formal center of excellence situated within the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University.

Set against a backdrop of rapid climate change, widespread ecological degradation, and uneven development, sustainability is one of humanity’s grand challenges. The inception of SLL is driven by the collective aspiration of our research and teaching community to cultivate sustainability knowledge as well as foster adaptable and inclusive shared futures.

To this end, we strive to establish SLL as a leading regional centre for sustainability and sustainability education with three core functions:

1

Rigorous research on sustainability and sustainability education, particularly in Asia.

2

Development of signature pedagogies and curricular materials for sustainability education.

3

Community outreach and efforts aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals as well as the Singapore Ministry of Education’s Eco Stewardship Programme.

We believe that socio-ecological responsibility and well-being are firmly on the agenda for teaching and learning, and SLL’s research and engagement efforts will be useful to researchers and educators concerned with empowering life-long learners for transformative environmental education.

We welcome interest and collaborations with our stakeholders. Please contact us at sll@nie.edu.sg if you need more information or would like to work with us.
