摘要：As world population increases, and as more and more individuals make increasing demands on the earth's resources, the mandate for effective Sustainability Education (SE) becomes more urgent. This paper describes a longitudinal evaluation of a project currently being undertaken in government primary and secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia, funded by the NSW Department of Education and Communities (DEC). The Climate Clever Energy Savers (CCES) Project is designed to raise awareness among school students about ways of reducing electricity consumption at their schools. Students are invited to tender for funds of up to $2000.00 to support a program (such as an education campaign, or building or appliance modification) to reduce electricity consumption. The overarching research question concerns the extent to which and ways in which the program has achieved the desired behaviour changes and educational outcomes. We have found the project to be highly effective, but also suggest some modifications to further enhance its effectiveness
