Environment education is about people as part of the living planet and focuses on the interaction of the natural, built (urban and rural), social and cultural aspects of the environment. It deals with facets of this interaction, from the personal to the global. Environment education is the development of: • Understandings about our environment, • Positive attitudes towards the earth and its life, • Confidence and skills to make positive changes, Environment education is dynamic, reflecting our growing understanding of our relationship with the environment. Environment education is interdisciplinary. It derives shares and applies knowledge, concepts and skills from all disciplines. The processes, which support life, must be protected. The protection of the world environment for the long-term benefit of life on earth is a task entrusted to all people. It is the task of educators to ensure that young people are made aware of their responsibility to protect the processes that support life and their ability to meet this challenge. Environment education seeks to respond to this challenge and also to foster enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of the fragility, diversity and beauty of life on earth. It teaches students about the environment, by giving those skills in investigating questions and issues in the environment, and attitudes of care and concern for the environment.
