Environmental Education (EE) aims to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to tackle environmental challenges and promote sustainable development. It covers critical issues like solid waste disposal, air and water pollution, deforestation, and wildlife depletion. The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development emphasizes themes such as poverty reduction, gender equality, and environmental conservation. Effective EE programs must include curriculum development, training, and advocacy to reach diverse audiences, from educators to grassroots communities.
