Resumo

Despite early definitions, perfectly aware of the challenges and values of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary education, there is sometimes a short-sighted misconception of Environmental Education, often far removed from its theoretical foundations in trivial practices. According to David W. Orr, all education is environmental education because we live in an interconnected and complex world where transformative, anticipatory, and participatory Environmental Education aims to empower people, change paradigms, and build better futures. A radical change in educational systems is needed, and Environmental Education researchers and practitioners can contribute to this. Nevertheless, we may need a “New” environmental education.
