Description

From Environmental Awareness to Environmental Agency: Repositioning Environmental Education for Sustainable Development challenges education to move beyond simply teaching learners about environmental problems towards empowering them to become active agents of sustainable change. In the face of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and growing pressure on natural resources, awareness alone is no longer enough. This book calls for environmental education that develops knowledge alongside values, responsibility, critical thinking, local and Indigenous knowledge, and the capacity to act. It argues for a fundamental shift from knowing about environmental challenges to having the agency to address them, positioning education as a powerful force for building sustainable, resilient, and responsible futures.
