Abstract
Environmental education is part of education on changes.
Environmental education is the crucial activity of protecting and managing the environment activities intended to be efficient. Protection and management of the environment can be efficient only if in cooperation with (educated) public and having their support.
Exploitation of the environment in the socialist model of development did not contain the efficient environment protection and did not develop the environmental education. Therefore the job is still to be done.
The introductory part is explaining the difference of the concepts „environmental education“ and „education on environment“ and „education for the environment“.
The essay continues with the survey of the present-day situation and of certain basic problems of environmental education in Croatia. To make it short, the education is at its beginnings as well in the sphere of the institutions as in the spheres outside it. The following short survey of the state of environmental education serves as help in the evaluation of the environmental education in Croatia.
The concluding sentences point to the assumptions and perspectives of the development of environmental education in Croatia.
