Teaching environment and sustainability aims to prepare new generations to address complex global environmental crises.

Emphasis is placed on outdoor education, collaboration with experts and organizations, and innovative assessments. Research underscores how these innovations enrich the educational experience and promote practical understanding of sustainability. Case studies and examples demonstrate their positive impact on learning, empowering students as agents of change in environmental protection and sustainable practices.
