Nicola Walshe is Pro-Director Education at IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, and Executive Director of the UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCCSE), the overarching aim of which is to undertake high-quality research which supports teachers to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and agency they need to participate and thrive in a climate-altered future. Within CCCSE, Nicola leads a research group with internationally significant and sustained expertise in climate change and sustainability education. Her research is predominantly in the field of high-quality teacher education practices in climate change and environmental and sustainability education; her recent AHRC-funded projects, Eco-Capabilities and Branching Out, explore the process by which arts-in-nature practice supports children’s connection with the environment and, thereby, their wellbeing. Nicola is co-convenor of the Environmental and Sustainability Education Research network of the European Educational Research Association and a UCL Climate Hub Community Expert.
