SILVA, Carlos Eduardo Marques da  and  TEIXEIRA, Simone Ferreira. Environmental Education in Brazil: reflections from the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development of the United Nations (2005-2014). Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2019, vol.44, e36261.  Epub Nov 11, 2020. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644436261.

Environmental Education has been pointed as a way to materialize renewed forms in the human-environment relationship in the face of today's serious social and environmental problems. It was sought to reflect its institutionalization from the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, in order to identify and characterize the attention dedicated to the consolidation of an Education oriented to the principles of Sustainability in Brazil. The article is a bibliographical-documentary survey and seeks to reflect how the precepts instituted as pertinent to an Education for Sustainable Development have been embodied in the Brazilian reality, discussing issues related to its institutionalization, internalization in school curricula and public funding. It is verified, despite the large academic and institutional production, that such education remains marginal and secondary in the Brazilian reality.

Keywords : Public Policy; Education; Sustainability.
