behavioural emphasis.

code of behaviour about issues concerning environmental quality. The inculcation of
environmental awareness and the problems it faces. Development of the necessary
skills to identify, investigate and to contribute to the solution of the environmental
problems. To develop a positive attitude towards the environment. It must be inter-,
trans- and multi-disciplinary: it should be taught across all subject disciplines, it should

pollution; health hazards; and climate change.
