1. The IUCN
1.1. .
Involves values clarification: it should involve the exploration of
personal assumptions, values and feelings towards self and
society as well as the relationship of self and society to the
natural world
Problem solving – environmental education involves helping
learners to developing relevant thinking processes for effective
resolution of complex environmental problems
It should employ hands-on experiences and activities:
environmental education requires the utilisation of real life
situations where learning is explored through real life
experiences and activities which foster a deep respect and love
for the natural world
It is environmental issue oriented: it entails the use of local
environmental issues, as well as case studies, role play,
simulation and games which provide opportunities to engage in,
examine and participate in the complexities of decision-making,
development of personal and alternative environmental values
and experiencing of the actual function of natural and human-
made systems
It must be life-long learning – environmental education is not
reactive but continually assesses the present and promotes an
ideology for a desirable and better future
1.2. Tbilisi Principles
Consider the environment in its totality—natural and built, technological
and social, be a continuous lifelong process, beginning at the
preschool level and continuing through all formal and non-formal
stages; be interdisciplinary in its approach, drawing on the specific
content of each discipline in making possible a holistic and balanced
perspective; examine major environmental issues from local, national,
regional, and international points of view so that students receive
insights into environmental conditions in other geographical areas;
focus on current and potential environmental situations while taking
into account the historical perspective;
2. The Anthropocene defines an era win which humankind has become a
geological force, the Age of Humans, with impacts of global proportions. Since
the beginning of the 17th century, humankind has altered the Earth’ systems
at geological scale. The key drivers are human population growth, economic
growth, war, pollution and environmental degradation. The effects of the
Anthropocene include such global environmental crises as biodiversity loss,
introduction and spread of alien invasive species, and species extinction;
environmental degradation, deforestation and desertification; water, air and
land pollution; health hazards; climate change.

3. NGO Principles
Environmental topic: Pollution (land , soil , water and noise)
NGO principle Application of the principle to the topic
Education is the right for all; we are all Every individual should have knowledge about
learners and educators. the environment and its problems and everyone
must know how to keep the environment clean
and healthy, free from pollution
Environmental education is both I will arrange a trip to a communal organisation
individual and collective. It aims to (Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and
develop local and global citizenship Rural Development) for an interview about
with respect for self-determination and proper waste/littering management practices
the sovereignty of nations they use. I will divide the learners in 5 groups
Environmental education should I will include my learners in a community project
empower all peoples and promote such as a recycling project to increase the
opportunities for grassroots democratic capacity of the community to empower them to
change and participation. This means make a change in their community
that communities must regain control
of their own destiny
Environmental education must be My class did a recycling project in the school
designed to enable people to manage where every learner had the opportunity to freely
conflicts in just and humane share their ideas/opinions about the recycling
project. They used 5 bins and paint each bin
according to the universal colours of recycling
with the follow posters above each bin: Organic
is Green, Glass is Yellow, Paper is White, Metal
is Grey, Plastic is Blue and Hazard is Red. This
school project helps the learners to implement
this at home and in their community, they just
used smaller bins at home, guesthouses, church
etc. They all participate in order to keep the
environment clean and healthy in a just and
humane way. This helps the people to manage
littering to avoid conflicts
Environmental education must The learners must be able to have the
integrate knowledge, skills, values, necessary knowledge about the environmental
attitudes and actions. It should convert and its problems, skills to think about solutions
every opportunity into an educational to these problems and make decisions to solve
experience for sustainable societies the problem
