SAUVE, Lucie. Living together in our Land; the contemporary challenges facing environmental education. Contrapontos [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.2, pp.288-299. ISSN 1984-7114.  https://doi.org/10.14210/contrapontos.v16n2.p288-299.

Abstract: This article presents an essay on the ethical and political challenges facing environmental education in our fragmented world, in search of meaning and belonging. The discussion is guided by the following questions: How can environmental education contribute to the construction of our personal and collective identities and improve our relationship with the world? How does it favor a commitment to the resolution of socioecological problems, and the eco-social innovation for the transformation of our societies? In this sense, how can it inspire ecological action by citizens, based on participatory democracy, in environmental justice and equity? Finally, how can it stimulate vigilance and social criticism aimed at influencing public policies related to socio-ecological affairs, including policies in the field of education?
