Abstract: Environmental education and training is a relatively young, dynamic and immensely complex field for study and interpretation. Indeed it concerns itself with learning and training relating to complex issues that at times themselves defy human understanding. It is a field characterized by a paradox: Few would doubt the urgency and importance of learning to live in sustainable ways of conserving the world natural resources and taking care of the earth today so that future generations may not only meet their own needs, but also enjoy life on our planet. Yet environmental education and training hold nowhere near the priority position in formal education and training programmes around the world. This book attempts to unravel some of the causes of and tensions in this paradoxical situation to explore the complexities of the subject matter of the field; to explain what is actually happening in the world of environmental education at the close of twentieth century; and to consider aspects of the field?s priorities and potential as we have entered the twenty-first century. The usefulness of this book is also reflected in its guideline principles out lining the framework and up-to-date account of environmental education and training in the Asian perspective.
