Abstract
Based on the theory of risk society, formulated by the german sociologist Ulrich Beck, the present study aims to examine how environmental education is a decisive step towards achieving sustainability amid global environmental crisis experienced by modernity. In this perspective, it should be initially mentioned that the risk society is characterized by being pervaded by abstract, invisible, unpredictable, uncontrollable, transtemporal and transboundary risks which arose from the reckless quest for technological innovations and intense industrialization. This risks currently forge the environmental crisis that plagues humanity. It is clear, therefore, that in order to achieve sustainability it is necessary to combat the crisis directly in its origin and source, which is the production system and the way of life generating the risks that are carried out in modernity. In this context, it is clearly important to analyze how environmental education may represent an important and decisive step in this fight, which binds the very essence upholding the fundamental right to life and human dignity.
