“…Under this premise, it seeks to provide theoretical and practical activities to improve social commitment, minimize the environmental impacts of human actions, and increase civil responsibilities over nature and environmental policies (Ardoin et al 2020). Consequently, a successful implementation could improve the quality of life and well-being of humans and other species, as well as the natural environment (Zilli et al 2022).…”

In recent decades, a series of environmental problems such as pollution, climate change and the loss of biodiversity are being perceived. Given this context, the need to implement strategies arises, such as environmental education, to mitigate the mentioned problems. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine if environmental education is related to the pro-environmental behavior of regular basic education students in the Peruvian Amazon. The research approach was quantitative, the design was non-experimental, and the scope was cross-sectional correlational. The sample was obtained of 293 students of the seventh cycle of regular basic education who were administered the Environmental Education Questionnaire and the Environmental Behavior Questionnaire, instruments with adequate metric properties. According to the results, the students were characterized by perceiving that the environmental education that was implemented in the educational institutions was partially adequate. Similarly, pro-environmental behavior was found to be unusual. On the other hand, it was found that the Pearson correlation coefficient between both variables was 0.877, and the p-value was below the significance level (p < 0.05). It was concluded that there is a direct and significant relationship between environmental education and the pro-environmental behavior of regular basic education students in the Peruvian Amazon.

“…Environmental education is a multifaceted concept encompassing an approach, philosophy, tool, and profession aimed at creating environmentally literate citizens who can address environmental and resource sustainability (Ardoin & Bowers, 2020; Damoah & Omodan, 2022; Zikargae et al, 2022). It emphasizes the development of attitudes, values, knowledge, and skills that enable individuals to take pro-environmental actions and increase the sustainability of human-nature interactions over time (Vieira et al, 2022). Environmental education seeks to increase public knowledge about environmental issues and promote individual motivation and skills to protect or improve the natural environment (van de Wetering et al, 2022).…”

The short story "Pengelana Laut" by Linda Christanty focuses on the theme of preserving dolphins. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the environmental phenomena and the importance of environmental education in the story. This qualitative design presents descriptive data using the Grag Garrard ecocritical approach. The primary data source is the short story "Pengelana Laut," published in Kompas newspaper and ruangsastra.com, containing words, phrases, and sentences related to marine ecological phenomena, collected using the literature study techniques. The data obtained were analyzed using interactive interpretive models involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verifying. The NVivo software program was used to code the data. The result showed that the short story contains various environmental phenomena, such as pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth, with a focus on the exploitation of dolphins by humans. In conclusion, environmental education is crucial for dolphin conservation, hence it is imperative to incorporate such material in literacy skills for students to cultivate a sense of concern for and environmental preservation of marine life.

Purpose: Undoubtedly, Climate Change (CC) stands as one of the most profound challenges confronting the 21st century. Confronting its impacts is not an option; it is the only imperative. This study aims to analyze the nuanced issues that must be eradicated and the emerging challenges in addressing the ramifications of the CC roar, focusing on the profound responsibility of powerful states and the role of environmental education in an era plagued by a multitude of climate-related disasters. Methodology: To achieve this objective, a comprehensive document review is conducted, driven by reliable search engines, guided by the PRISMA framework. Results: The implementation of environmental policies, the ratification of international agreements, the strength of multilateral efforts, and the transition away from a fossil-based economy are central topics that powerful states must prioritize. In this regard, the battle is also shared by the potential of environmental education to prepare citizens for sustainable development, by incorporating environmental themes at the core of educational curricula, thus enabling them to solidify their roles in the face of one of the greatest threats of the 21st century. Conclusion: Both the State and environmental education are vested in formulating and implementing actions from their operational foundations, aimed at mitigating the impacts wrought by CC. Moreover, they must confront other potential scenarios in addition to providing responses. Recognizing and addressing these needs will be instrumental in promoting a sustainable path in an imminent danger zone with no return point, as driven by CC.
