Abstract

The formation of an environmental culture among students is crucial for addressing pressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainability. This scientific statement highlights the significance of environmental education, the role of educators, and interdisciplinary approaches to foster environmental responsibility and stewardship in students. Strategies for developing an environmental culture include cultivating environmental knowledge, fostering a sense of responsibility, encouraging environmentally friendly habits, promoting emotional connections to the environment, enhancing critical thinking, and supporting interdisciplinary learning. Evaluating the effectiveness of environmental education programs is essential to inform future practices and policies. Policymakers should prioritize teacher training, integrate environmental education into curricula, allocate resources for environmental programs, and support regular assessment and evaluation. By implementing these strategies and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, we can empower students to become environmentally responsible citizens, ensuring a more sustainable future for all.
