Educação ambiental: Reflexões jurídicas conceituais a luz do direito ambiental em sua dimensão constitucional.

Abstract

This study highlights the main juridical-conceptual reflections that underpin guidelines and actions concerning environmental education. The 1988 Federal Constitution, listed in Article 225, presents a duty to defend a sustainable and ecologically balanced environment. We can highlight some guiding principles for non-degradation of the environment. The study aims to present a concept of environmental education and demonstrate the link between the environment and its dimension within constitutional law. It brings with it the guiding question: How can environmental education be integrated into the principles and instruments of environmental law? The work will be developed following a bibliographic research methodology, using a deductive, exploratory method, with the use of renowned authors. This approach seeks to reflect and demonstrate the concerns that the environment continually faces due to human actions. Finally, it is concluded that the constitutional dimension of environmental law provides a solid basis for promoting environmental education, but also poses challenges that require constant updating, oversight, and social engagement.
