Abstract

This paper contains some suggestions for a close connection between environmental history and history education. The ‘spatial turn’ of history, the global nature of the environmental history, and its relevance to the present raise the need to introduce environmental history into world history education. Although the current history curriculum and textbooks only recognize the environment as a current problem, environmental history education should, above all else, make it possible to reflect on the interaction between humans and the environment in a long-term context with the goal of ‘sustainable development.’ In order to introduce environmental history into the history curriculum step by step, this paper proposes three categories of themes, namely migration and trade, power, and global history of disaster, aligned with the world history education of exchange and interaction.
