A evolução do conceito de Educação na área do ambiente, no mundo e em Portugal

Abstract

The environmental threats have been awakening human sensitivity to a deep change. The ecological and environmental studies have been increasing and the constant environmental disasters have obliged people to strongly interfere in all educational levels. Thus the Environmental Educational Concept has evolved from a conservative view to a constant worry focused on education. It has passed through a stage in which sustainability is the main issue. The evolution of this concept reflects not only the environmental worries but also on what concerns the political and educational responsibilities.
