Environmental Education

This comprehensive examination of environmental education presents a transformative approach that moves beyond traditional awareness-building to foster meaningful change. Drawing on educational theory, complexity science, and adult learning principles, Dr. Lobo demonstrates how environmental education can serve as a catalyst for ecological and educational transformation. The book traces environmental education's evolution from the 1970s Stockholm Conference through recent climate summits, while integrating foundational educational theories from Freire, Morin, and others. It explores practical implementation in schools, the role of educational policy, and strategies for community participation in environmental action.

Key themes include developing "ecological citizens" capable of critical thinking and environmental stewardship, the integration of theory and practice (praxis), and connecting local environmental concerns with global sustainability challenges. The work bridges academic theory with practical applications for educators, administrators, and community leaders.

Ideal for environmental educators, graduate students in education and sustainability studies, educational administrators, and practitioners seeking to understand environmental education as a comprehensive approach to ecological and educational transformation.
