Biodiversity and education
A knowledge synthesis and analysis of measures for enhanced nature education highlighting the relevant EU policies, projects and initiatives
Low public awareness on nature and biodiversity has been identified as a major cause for inadequate action on protecting the environment. Increased urbanisation is weakening the human-nature relationship, with detrimental effects on humans as well as the environment. In this report we emphasise the importance of systemically integrating biodiversity and sustainability using a whole-institution approach, and outline the EU policies, projects and initiatives addressing this crucial gap. The primary aim is to improve public awareness on the importance of nature education, and to provide information for those wishing to engage in, support or draw upon the educational activities initiated by the EU and its partners.
