A Study on the Impact of Organizing Environmental Awareness and Education on the Performance of Environmental Governance in China

Abstract

The advancement of technology and economic development has raised the standard of living and at the same time brought a greater burden to the environment. Environmental governance has become a common concern around the world, and although China’s environmental governance has achieved some success, it is still a long way from the ultimate goal. This paper empirically analyzes the impact of environmental publicity and education on environmental governance performance, using public participation as a mediator. The results show that: the direct effect of environmental publicity and education on environmental governance performance is not significant; environmental publicity and education have a significant positive effect on public participation; public participation significantly contributes to environmental governance performance; public participation shows a good mediating effect between environmental publicity and education and environmental governance performance. The government should adopt diversified environmental protection publicity and education in future environmental governance, and vigorously promote public participation in environmental governance so that the goal of environmental governance can be fundamentally accomplished by all people.

Una propuesta educativa para disminuir el impacto ambiental por desechos sólidos urbanos generados por los estudiantes

“…Desde esta realidad, la formación de los estudiantes debe contener sólidos conocimientos científicos, pero, sobre todo, una profunda toma de conciencia ambiental, que posibiliten a los estudiantes desde su accionar cotidiano, contribuir con la reducción de la contaminación ambiental (Niu et al, 2022;Tadena & Monera, 2020).…”

“…El tema propuesto es de gran relevancia, en la medida que se vincula de forma directa con las directrices actuales pedagógicas, curriculares, ecológicas y sociales, situación que pone en evidencia que la educación tradicional aún presente en las aulas del siglo XXI (Juárez-Pulido et al, 2019), no favorece el aprendizaje significativo de los educandos ni la toma de conciencia ecológica, como sujeto de preservación de un medio ambiente sano (Ardoin et al, 2020;Niu et al, 2022).…”
