143 p. 24 cm. Increasing awareness of environmental issues and the implementation of environmental programs have spurred the need for education and training for sustainable development in many countries. Analytical concepts and practical tools necessary for formulating environmental training policies are discussed. Also, major education and training issues raised in "Agenda 21," the Plan of Action adopted by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development are addressed. Policy for three major types of environmental training are discussed including environmental literacy training for the general public, job-related environmental literacy training, and environmental training for people engaged in environmental protection jobs. Five parts cover the topics of: (1) environmental policies and training; (2) environmental training policy; (3) the salient characteristics of environmental training; (4) environmental training: institutional strategies and methods; and (5) training for major actors in the environmental area. A bibliography contains 54 references, and an annex contains a report on a meeting held to examine the draft final report "Environmental Training: Policy and Practice."
