Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the world is experiencing global changes and the effects are being felt in all social, economic, political, and environmental fields. Climate change, natural hazards, social inequalities, immigration, refugees, and the spread of diseases (COVID-19, etc.) are just a few examples that can be treated as enviromental issues. All of these topics should be dealt with at all stages of education (including university). Nowdays, we find different problems that can be linked to the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), for example, “clean water and sanitation” (Goal 5), “affordable and clean energy” (Goal 6), “sustainable cities and communities” (Goal 11), “responsible production and consumption” (Goal 12), “climate action” (Goal 13), or “life of terrestrial ecosystems” (Goal 15).
This Special Issue answers the following research questions with theoretical and empirical studies:
*What are the purposes of enviromental teaching in today’s schools?
*What place does environmental thought formation and environmental and social problems have in learning/teaching?
