Abstract
Environmental education research is diverse, complex and multidisciplinary, with interrelated approaches and contexts. This paper aims to analyse the existing previous initiatives, their organisation in different areas, and the current action strategies for improving management and implementing sustainable criteria and circular economy guidelines. The analysis methodology follows sequential phases: (i) analysis of the bibliographic records of the research field; (ii) performance analysis and mapping of scientific production; and (iii) comparison between the different policy frameworks on Environmental Education and Education for Sustainable Development. This paper analyses the research trends in this field for the period 1968 to 2021. Morever, documents from 21 countries are analysed under various socio-economic contexts to obtain a comprehensive discussion to be replicated through proposals for action in environmental education in the coming years. The analysis shows that Environmental Education started to be included in educational programmes in the early years, taking as a reference green building practices. Over the years, it has evolved through education in consumption habits, promoting the local economy, the reduction of the environmental footprint, and the need to develop inclusive frameworks that address the use of technologies.
