It aims to equip students with knowledge and skills to address global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion. Key components include teaching about ecosystems, conservation practices and sustainable development principles. By integrating environmental education across curricula, schools promote responsible citizenship and encourage students to make informed decisions that positively impact the environment. This educational approach not only enhances environmental literacy but also instils a sense of environmental responsibility from an early age. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of environmental education. It explores all the important aspects of embedding environmental education within the education system in the present day scenario. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
