1.1. The primary focus on individual actions as the primary means of reaching
specified goals in many professions is referred to as behavioural emphasis.
Environmental education, according to the IUCN, is a method in which ideas
are presented and values are uncovered in order to build skills and attitudes
that represent the interaction between man, culture, and the natural
environment. The behavioural emphasis in the concept originates from the
notion that it is totally up to man to select how he should engage with the
environment in terms of persona conduct. When used in the definition of
environmental education, the term "code of conduct" refers to how people
behave; hence it emphasizes the behavioural characteristics of individuals.
1.2.
“Education must help develop an ethical awareness of all forms of life
with which humans share this planet, respect all life cycles and impose
limits on humans’ exploitation of other forms of life.” This will promote
behavioural change because learners will develop an ethical awareness
and learn to respect all forms of life because they need to learn that the
planet does not belong only to the humans and therefore should respect
and appreciate every living thing this planet has to offer and this
principle will allow learners to do that and promote behavioural change.
“Environmental education must integrate knowledge, skills, values,
attitudes and actions. It should convert every opportunity into an
educational experience for sustainable societies.” This principle will
promote behavioural change because learners will integrate their
knowledge, skills, values, attitudes and actions into different kinds of
issues and problems, and they will learn how to solve these problems.
They will learn to use every opportunity as an experience, in this way
they will gain experience for the future and integration of these five
things will come smoothly to them and it will be very useful.
2. The Anthropocene is the name given to the epoch in which humanity has
evolved into a geological force. It is the Age of Humans, with global
ramifications. Human population growth, economic growth, war, pollution,
and environmental degradation are the major causes. Humankind has changed
the Earth's systems on a geological scale since the early 17th century. Global
environmental crises caused by the Anthropocene involve biodiversity loss, the
introduction and spread of alien invasive species, and species extinction;
environmental degradation, deforestation, and desertification; water, air, and
land pollution; health risks; and climate change.
