Ecological Education and Enlightenment Within the Framework of Implementing the Sustainable Development Concept in the Russian Federation
摘要
The relevance of eco-education and eco-enlightenment is determined by the global environmental challenges facing humanity, the history of formation and development of which is inextricably linked to the evolution of the natural environment. We have been using the benefits of nature for thousands of years and began to think about restoring its resources only at the end of the twentieth century. The ecological agenda is entering our lives more densely. The pollution of water bodies and the atmosphere, the cutting down of forests that do not correspond in quantitative terms to their planting, and the growth of industrial and household waste are now the subject of lively discussions on the need to preserve the planet’s balance. The world is a highly developed technological system. A large number of factories, plants, and manufactories, extensive use of the latest technologies, and the availability of broadband Internet entail technical progress and have a detrimental impact on the environment. This research aims to draw public attention to the problematic issues existing in the environmental sector and propose ways to improve the environmental safety of the country through changes in beliefs, knowledge, values, skills, and daily habits of people to form their sustainable and responsible behavior.
