CREE is the UK's leading group of researchers whose work focuses on educational issues relating to the environment and sustainability. Academics, research fellows and students have interests ranging from economics and management, to science and geography, and philosophy and literature, amongst many other themes and issues. We are collaboratively linked to key academics, policy makers, practitioners and researchers in the UK and in similar research centres in the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and continental Europe through a wide range of formal and informal links, and through work with environmental and sustainable development education networks, associations and organisations like NAAEE, SEEd, and NAEE UK.
Mission
Our mission is, through research and scholarship, to promote practical and theoretical understandings of how education in its widest sense can be focused on environmental and sustainability issues.
