Abstract:
Environmental education (EE) for sustainable development remains a valuable subject of contemporary
society, which is characterized with environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, loss of
biodiversity, and resource degradation. The delivery of EE is based on the North American Association
for environmental education values of knowledge, dispositions, competencies, and responsible behavior
towards the environment. EE is a transformative tool to learners since it prepares learners with skills,
attitudes, knowledge, and values to resolve environmental problems. It promotes environmental activism
and action-oriented resolution of environmental issues. The full benefits of EE are challenged by limited
human capacity, questionable professionalism, limited resources, and poor transformation of knowledge
to practice. These challenges however can be alleviated through community engagement in formulating
EE programs, multidisciplinary engagements, and research on EE delivery and quality
