Abstract
Environmental ethics in education has become increasingly important as societies face rising ecological challenges, such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss and unsustainable consumption. This research paper examines the meaning, significance and implementation of environmental ethics within the educational system. It highlights how values such as responsibility, respect for nature, intergenerational justice and ecological sustainability can be integrated into curriculum ,pedagogy, institutional culture and community engagement. The study analyses global trends, identifies key challenges and proposes a holistic framework for integrating environmental ethics in education. This paper concludes that environmental ethics must be a core component of modern education to build environmentally conscious future citizens.
