摘要

Framework For some years, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) overlapped with the conceptual knowledge of Environmental Education. Although the UN designated the 2004-2015 decade as the decade of Education for Sustainable Development, experts in the field found many difficulties in their attempts to integrate this concept into academic programs (Vasconcelos, 2012). This helps to explain why many citizens still have a limited interpretation of Sustainable Development, referring to it as mere environmental awareness or as actions related to pro-environmental issues.
