Book Description
Los Equipamientos de Educacion Ambiental (EqEA) son un poderoso recurso para procurar los cambios individuales y sociales encaminados a la consecucion de los objetivos propios de la Educacion Ambiental (EA). Desde que surgieran en el Estado espanol, a finales de la decada de los 70, su evolucion ha estado influida por las diferentes concepciones de la EA desarrolladas a lo largo del tiempo. El estudio de la calidad de los EqEA es un tema recurrente en las investigaciones de los ultimos anos, sin embargo, se ha considerado interesante focalizar la atencion en los EqEA del medio urbano, ya que estos trasladan el punto de mira a las ciudades, lugar donde se originan los mayores problemas ambientales. El objetivo de la presente investigacion es realizar una evaluacion de la calidad de los EqEA urbanos de la Comunidad de Madrid, estudiando su origen y evolucion, sus diferentes concepciones de la EA, las funciones sociales que prestan a la ciudadania y sus tendencias actuales y futuras."

ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Engaging People in Sustainability
Author: Daniella Tilbury
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 9782831708232
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
