"Sustainable School" in UK prepares young people for a lifetime of sustainable living, through its teaching, structures, and day-to-day practices. It is guided by a commitment to care: (1) for ourselves (our health and well-being); (2) for others, across cultures, distances, and generations; and (3) for the planet, both locally and globally. The school puts a high value on the well-being of its pupils and the school environment. Furthermore, it is also a great place to learn, where pupils can develop self-esteem and achieve higher standards. The DfES developed the National Framework for Sustainable School, with eight doorways (themes), i.e. food and drink, energy and water, travel and traffic, purchasing and waste, school facilities and schoolyards, inclusion and participation, local well-being, and global dimension, through which schools may choose to initiate or extend their activities. Along with this line, the authors introduce the aspects of "Sustainable Schools" led by the UK Government: (1) the implementation strategy and the national framework of UK Government; (2) ESD implications internalized in the activities. This paper describes possibilities and potentialities of Sustainable Schools, thier implications for the area of Formal Education in Japan, and some related research activities conducted by Gayford (2009) and Scott (2003, 2009).

The age of globalization could be considered an era of “internalizing” corporate activities and human living and so on, that have been “externalized” and disposed of as has been the case with natural resources and wastes from industry and daily living. In this age without “externalities,” “global environmental problems” and “social exclusion problems” are no longer separate issues; rather they have an intricate and reciprocal relationship. Today, the need for linking these issues and developing them together has emerged in both environmental and development education, which have been involved in the educational aspects of both of these problems. In this article the authors address “global environmental problems” and “social exclusion problems” created as the outcome of “economic globalization” which has exacerbated the mutually prescribed opposition of excesses in wealth and the accumulation of poverty, and they examine environmental education and development education as two educational initiatives working on these problems.   Based on these initiatives, the authors articulate the perspective of “Endogenous Development”, which aims to solve both of these problems at the same time, as a ‘glocal’ practical theory towards the creation of a “Sustainable and Inclusive Society.” They also articulate the importance of “Education Planning Theory” which promotes proactive learning (self-education activities) related to internal development. In environmental education and development education within the context of globalization, people need to become the problem solving agents through the learning process and participating in knowledge creation. This means not simply understanding and criticizing environmental problems and problems of social exclusion, but protecting a sustainable and inclusive environment in a living community and forming cooperative and creative practical theory will suffice. Lastly, the authors explore the significance and possibility of “Education for Sustainable and Inclusive Communities, ESIC”.
