ENVIRONMENTAL

EDUCATION and
ENVIRONMENT FOR
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Annie B. Agpoon
Environmental Education
“A process by which individuals become acquainted
with their surroundings, gaining the essential
knowledge, skills, attitudes, experiences, and motivation
to engage — both individually and collectively — in
caring for present and future environmental challenges.”

“A process that allows people to learn about


environmental issues, solve problems, and take action
to help the environment. As a result, people have a
better grasp of environmental challenges and the ability
to make educated and responsible decisions.”
Components of EE

sensitivity

understanding

motivation

resolve challenges.

Environmental education teaches people how
to weigh different sides of an issue using

to make educated decisions and to take individual
and communal action to alter society and care for
the environment.
