Abstract
Environmental education in all eras has taught about the natural world: the passing on of knowledge about nature is what has counted as education over most of the human race’s 200,000-year existence. “Environmental education” is, however, a term now connected to the relatively recent birth of environmentalism, and of the perception of environmental problems: Joy A. Palmer’s Environmental Education in the 21st Century suggests that environmental education began on a global level with the 1968 UNESCO Biosphere Conference, in Paris, which “called for the development of curriculum materials relating to studying the environment for all levels of education, the promotion of technical training, and the stimulation of global awareness of environmental problems.”
