The sustainability education component in particular addresses a number of ESD priority areas which will provide opportunities for students to pursue studies and future careers in areas which will contribute to sustainability in the region, including: a Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Islands and Oceans Development, a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Sciences, and a new Master of Laws (Environmental Law). In addition to programmes under the Centre of Excellence Project, the USP’s Pacific Centre for Environment and Sustainable Development (PACE-SD) - also co-ordinating the implementation of the regional ESD action plan - has a number of programmes of its own related directly to sustainability and climate change. Working internationally, GUPES, along with the International Network of Teacher Educator Institutions involved with reorienting teacher education to address sustainability, and the University Consortium of Small Island States (UCSIS), provide a potential support network for higher education institutions in SIDS that are interested in strengthening their work on ESD.
