A national review of environmental education and its contribution to sustainability in Australia
The intention of this study is to provide a snapshot of Environmental Education and its contribution to sustainability across a number of sectors within Australia. The study has resulted in a series of documents prepared by the Australian Research Institute in Education for Sustainability (ARIES) for the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
The first volume reviews trends in Environmental Education towards sustainability. As well as defining key components of this area of learning, it examines national strategies from around the world and the frameworks they offer. The other reports in the series consolidate previous studies as well as review programs and emerging trends. They provide a snapshot of the current context and experiences within the formal school education sector, community education sector, business and industry education sector and the further and higher education sector.
