The attitudes and opinions of preschool teachers and initial teachers in relation to environmental education and their awareness of sustainable development

Sustainable development is a concept that integrates environmental, social and
economic considerations for a balanced and sustainable progress of society. It
emphasizes a balanced approach to growth that integrates economic progress,
social inclusion, and environmental protection. In today’s world, where issues
such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality are increasingly
urgent, sustainable development provides a framework for building a more
resilient and equitable future. It encourages responsible use of natural resources,
innovation in technology, and cooperation among nations to ensure long-term
prosperity and well-being for all.
In modern society, where we face environmental challenges every day, it is of
particular importance that education guides children towards responsible and
conscious behavior towards nature. Environmental education and education for
sustainable development aim to develop positive attitudes, knowledge and
habits in children from an early age.
