This study aims to examine the conceptual and practical dimensions of education for a sustainable environment by examining global environmental problems and their current implications, environmental governance and education policies, holistic and stakeholder-focused approaches, environmental education based on sustainability, innovative teaching and learning methods, the role and training of teachers, and practical examples from Turkey and around the world. In this context, it demonstrates that the global impacts of environmental problems necessitate sustainable transformation in education systems. Climate change, natural resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and inadequate waste management profoundly affect not only ecosystems but also social and economic structures. Therefore, the importance of environmental education is increasing. Indeed, environmental education plays a critical role in helping individuals develop environmental awareness, assume responsibility, and develop sustainable solutions. The educational process is shaped by governance, policy, and societal factors. School, family, public, and citizenship education contribute to environmental sustainability through holistic and stakeholder-focused approaches. Teachers serve as role models and leaders in educational processes. Therefore, prioritizing environmental literacy, environmental leadership, and sustainability-focused content in teacher preparation programs is crucial. From school and community projects to national and international awareness programs, exemplary practices in environmental education enhance the potential for individuals and society to take environmental responsibility and action. Ultimately, the conceptual and practical perspectives discussed support the development of a sustainable education approach that will contribute to the solution of global environmental problems.
