behavioural emphasis.
IUCN is considered to have a behavioural emphasis because environmental
education is the process of recognizing values and clarifying concepts in order to
develop skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the
interrelatedness among man, his culture and his biophysical surroundings.
Environmental education entails practice in decision making and self-formulation of
code of behaviour about issues concerning environmental quality. The inculcation of
environmental awareness and the problems it faces. Development of the necessary
skills to identify, investigate and to contribute to the solution of the environmental
problems. To develop a positive attitude towards the environment. It must be inter-,

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. Define the Anthropocene [5] and discuss five key global
environmental issues and challenges that have emerged in this era.
The Anthropocene is the name used to refer to the era in which humankind has
become a geological force. It is the Age of Humans, with impacts of global
proportions. Since the beginning of the 17th century, humankind has altered the
Earth’s systems on a 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; and climate change.
