"Environmental sustainability and related environmentally-based sectors are growing rapidly within the UK. The government has introduced relevant legislation and international agreements and protocols with an emphasis on reducing global warming, climate change, low carbon economy and the need for conservation. Recent research and consultation with prospective employers, education providers, learners and parents has identified a need to develop current vocational training and qualifications in environmental sustainability, environmental goods and services, and related environmental conservation sectors. This is to meet the considerable interest from employers and to support the low carbon economy and skills development in this area."
