This Plan establishes a point of reference on environmental education for sustainable development regarding where we stand; what has been done; the key actors; the major target groups; and goes further and identifies programme areas, priority themes and potential partners. The Plan therefore creates a strategic framework within which to place and relate future actions.

The Plan's overall expected result is based on a broadly shared vision of a desired quality of life for a 21" century Jamaica. The expected results identified for each of the programme areas contribute directly to the achievement of the Plan's overall result.
