We're committed to supporting the professional development of teachers and leaders.

Continuing Professional Development

Since 1981, WWF have been supporting teachers and schools in their efforts to address Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). We're also passionately committed to supporting the Continuing Professional Development of teachers, which is why we've developed a free online CPD courses for educators. 

Education for a Sustainable Planet

WWF's acclaimed on-demand teacher CPD training has moved to its new home on WWF's global learning platform, WWF Academy. It continues to be free to all.
