Environmental Education
That Makes a Difference

For more than forty years, the Foundation for Environmental Education has worked on a simple conviction: that education is how environmental change becomes real and lasting. Established in 1981, FEE today brings together over 110 member organisations in 100+ countries, and its work is guided by a single aim — to engage and empower people through education, in partnership with members worldwide, toward a sustainable world where education creates positive change for all.

FEE's six programmes carry that mission into practice. Four are educational — Eco-Schools, Eco-Campus, LEAF, and Young Reporters for the Environment — and empower young people to address environmental challenges through a solutions-based approach. Two are certification standards for sustainable operation: Green Key for tourism and hospitality, and Blue Flag for beaches, marinas, and tourism boats. FEE's GAIA 20:30 strategy directs all six toward climate action, biodiversity, and reducing environmental pollution.

Kuwait joined this global network in 2023. As the nation advances toward Kuwait Vision 2035 — a future built on economic diversification, knowledge-based development, and sustainable growth — the role of environmental education has never been more urgent. Lasting change begins not in policy documents, but in the minds shaped within schools, universities, and institutions.

That work is carried out by Academics, a Kuwaiti educational and environmental consultancy and FEE's authorised National Operator in the State of Kuwait. Academics is responsible for delivering and managing the FEE programmes nationally, in accordance with FEE's international standards and Kuwait's regulatory requirements — translating global frameworks into a reality suited to Kuwait's environment, culture, and ambitions.

Today our certified community spans schools, universities, beaches, and hospitality establishments across the country — and it continues to grow.
