Sust 'n' Able is is a programme of education for sustainable development. It aims to increase awareness of:

• The present and predicted impact of human life on the global environment at all levels - personal actions; local and national governmental decision making; multi-national trade, industrial and economic activity; world organizations;
• The complex nature of the interaction between these levels of activity;
• The effects of changes in the global environment on people not simply materially but, for example, resulting conflicts and the resolution of conflict;
• The possible alternative scenarios and possible outcomes;
• What changes will be required at each level to achieve a more equal balance between the necessary and justifiable use of the world's resources and the their abuse and exploitation- and to work towards a more sustainable future;
• The value of active citizenship, full participation in society, responsible consumption, and effective action.

Activities within the programme help participants to build up real skills and useful, practical knowledge that they can apply to make their daily lives more sustainability-positive.
