Abstract

Sustainable development is an umbrella term, which encompasses many disciplines including ecology, economy, biology, and education. Today, the world has started to pay much more attention to environmental problems. As these problems continue to grow day by day, human behaviors must play a salient role in solving these sort of problems. The sustainable development movement is creating a newer and a stronger awareness for environmental issues. Therefore, a process of questioning, in which some questions such as “Who teaches the environmental issues to whom, and how?” can be answered, has started, and this process is still continuing to improve. This paper discusses the effects of sustainable development on environmental education. Within this scope, various applications in the field of environmental education are going to be discussed.
