Environmental education initiatives in Brazil

Overview

Municipalities and local organizations in Brazil are expanding environmental and climate education initiatives through diverse pedagogical approaches.

Initial efforts focused on youth-oriented programs, such as the ‘5R’s Workshop’ in Brumado, and sensory-based ecological exhibitions in Juazeiro do Norte. Subsequent developments integrated indigenous knowledge, such as the Caianas collective’s work in agroecology, and clean energy education via the Luz da Consciência project in São Sebastião.

Recent efforts have expanded into biodiversity conservation and disaster preparedness. In Ribeirão Pires, the PEPTA program focused on Atlantic Forest wildlife, while the ‘Abelha é Vida’ project in Arapongas guided rural producers on pollinators. In Andradina, the JUAD program concluded an ecology module by planting tree seedlings to improve local environmental quality. In Sombrio, Santa Catarina, the Civil Defense launched a campaign at the Alda Santos de Vargas Municipal School to instruct students on the El Niño phenomenon, focusing on risk reduction and community resilience regarding increased rainfall.

Innovation in these sectors has gained formal recognition through the 4th Sustainable Schools Award, a partnership between Fundação Santillana and the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OIE). In Salvador, Casa da Infância was recognized for its ‘Infância, Sustentabilidade e Cidades Educadoras’ project, which facilitates educational exchanges between Brazilian and Colombian schools through composting and biodiversity mapping. Additionally, the EcoLuz Trap project from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA) was honored for using recycled electronics to create light traps to combat disease-carrying mosquitoes.
