Educação Ambiental

o que diz a literatura

Abstract

Environmental education has not been successfully integrated over the world. Several studies have addressed this problem, but little attention has been paid to the "educational side" of environmental education. Many authors believe that the weakness of environmental education is based on its lack of clarity in outlining its goals, principles and definitions. This present paper analyses what the literature says, from Tbilisi Conference (1977) to nowadays, emphasizing the main objectives of environmental education, recognizing the education as a powerful political tool to enhance the development of world sustainability.
