Peter Milne

Sustainability, Global Citizenship and Children's Environmental Rights

Peter Milne has had over 25 years’ experience as a teacher and consultant, working mainly in science, environmental, global citizenship and outdoor education in the UK, Malaysia and Dubai.

As a speaker and facilitator for schools, Peter will share his expertise, passion and experiences to show students and teachers the why and the how to impact positive change towards a more sustainable future. Using highly visual and stimulating presentations and thought provoking and interactive workshops, students will gain a greater understanding of what sustainability is and a greater motivation and ability to empower change.

Through the success achieved in the UAE, Peter founded Target4Green Educational Consultancy and Training Ltd upon his return to the UK.

In addition to working with many schools in the UK as well as globally, Peter has been a keynote speaker at the World Environmental Education Congress, resource/article writer and a regular workshop leader, including organising and running a 4 day seminar in Jakarta on Children’s Environmental Rights. This has since been developed as a course on the UK Government funded Global Learning Programme; strongly linked to Global Citizenship, and adapted as an in-school programme called Climate Change: From Causes and Consequences to Rights and Responsibilities.

He has also developed the ‘Beyond COP21 Symposium’ series, supported by Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots and 350.org. which has already as of April 2024, taken place 42 times in 22 countries; United Kingdom, UAE, Singapore, Jordan, Kenya, Ghana, Peru, Taiwan, Spain, Vietnam, Georgia, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada, USA, Qatar, Egypt, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Through this and other in-school initiatives, Peter has continued to support the post-Paris 2015 UN Climate Change Conference agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Testimonials from Teachers

"Peter delivered an informative and passionate talk about climate change. It was well received by the pupils and provoked plenty of discussion."

– Christian White, Lord Wandsworth College

"Peter has been a great ambassador for the Green Awareness Movement in this region and has piloted many innovative initiatives to engage young people in active awareness campaigns. His talks are revealing, engaging and thought provoking with an aim of sustainable and lasting changes in both attitudes and behaviour. I would highly recommend him to lead your audience into enlightenment about how to make our planet a better place for now and for generations to come."

– Clive Pierrepont, Director of Communication, Taaleem Education, UAE

"Thank you very much! You did a great job and all the kids loved it. I got them to share what they had done with the rest of the school in assembly! Thank you as well for your presentation to staff last week – feedback has been very positive. I look forward to our continued relationship."

– Yvette Jeffrey, Head of Primary, Jumeirah Baccalaureate School, Dubai

"With the wonderful news of us being awarded our Green Flag Status, I wanted to say THANK YOU for all your help along the way. Not just the Eco-Symposium but the gentle steering and good advice at plenty of other times too. These things have been critical and we are most grateful."

– Titus Mills, Headmaster, Walhampton Independent Preparatory School

"The event was a great success. Both Peter's talks were excellent, providing students plenty of opportunity to discuss issues and voice their frustrations and ideas. Many of the staff have commented on the fact that they thought he was excellent, knowledgeable, with an honest authenticity that did not dictate to the students what to think. His talk to the senior students provided an excellent plenary to our Earth Day, especially as he tied his presentation to our underlying themes and threads of climate change, fast fashion and sustainable eating. All in all it was an excellent event and I am very glad he was able to be part of the entire day."

– Fiona Mansfield, Bede's School
