The 4th International Conference on Environmental Education (ICEE) |
 The 4th ICEE was successfully held in Ahmedabad, India from 24-28 November 2007 attended by over 1500 participants from 97 countries with the theme ‘Education for life: Life through Education’. UNEP hosted two workshops ‘UNEP’s Global Environment Outlook Report Volume 4 (GEO4) 2007: Promoting Environmental Research and Learning for Sustainable Development’ and ‘Education for Sustainable Consumption’.
Being the fourth in the series of Conferences on Environmental Education since the first Conference held in 1977 at Tbilisi, Georgia, the aim of this Conference was to look into understanding what has emerged out of the discipline of Environmental Education (EE) since Tbilisi and the role of EE within Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
The conference came up with recommendations for the world’s policy makers and educationists to adopt in the quest towards education for sustainable development.
