Environmental Education Conference
4th International Conference on Environmental Education
26 – 28 November 2007
The Fourth International Conference on Environmental Education being held at Ahmedabad. The Conference which is supported by the Faculty of Built Environement will meet the urgent need to bring together the Governments of various nations as well as the innumerable non-governmental organisations that work on EE and ESD issues onto a common forum to reformulate EE programs with ESD-related considerations and in the context of the Decade.
Environmental Education (EE) gained international recognition in 1972 with the UN Conference on the Human Environment, in Stockholm, Sweden, which called upon Environmental Education as the means to address environmental issues worldwide. The world's first Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education, Tbilisi, Georgia (USSR), organized by UNESCO in partnership with UNEP in 1977, highlighted the important role of EE in the preservation and improvement of the world's environment, as well as in the sound and balanced development of the world's communities. Ten years later, in 1987, UNESCO and UNEP organized an International Congress in Moscow, USSR in order to determine an international strategy for 'action in EE and training' for the 1990s.
