Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development as a Contemporary Educational Priority

Summary/Abstract: The challenges the contemporary schools on all educational levels have to face revolve upon the interdisciplinary approach to environmental protection, and in the wider meaning, sustainable development. It is a difficult and complex task, because of the fact that currently the actions taken by schools, from primary school to an university, are too slow in comparison to social changes and needs regarding the environmental problem solving. Climate changes, ecological catastrophes, atmosphere pollution or modern-age diseases are crises the contemporary world has to face. The human anthropogenic activity contributes to the disadvantageous changes in the natural environment. This is why appropriate education plays an incredibly important role in the shaping of a proper life style and acting towards environment protection. More and more attention to the issues of global and local actions of the society on sustainable environment is being paid by governments, governmental and non-governmental organizations and scientists of many countries.
