Ecology, Sustainability, and Scientific Education: The Evolution of an Environmental Pedagogy
Abstract
Environmental education is a new discipline, which has been gaining increasing importance in recent decades. It is a fundamental tool to sensitize citizens and communities to greater responsibility and attention to environmental issues and good governance of the territory. The educational component allows us to transform scientific languages into simple languages that can be appropriated and understood by the different social groups, and the environmental component that tries to reconstruct. These relationships are created by man with nature, but through cultural parameters. The growing concern for environmental devastation has its roots in the decade of the 1970s. Countless efforts have been made to draw the attention of populations to this topic. Among these attempts come out different approaches such as sustainable development that uses environmental education and local sustainability as tools to prevent damages. This chapter describes the key theoretical and government references that support environmental education, focusing on their relationship and the rising of a new sector of work.
