Environmental education (EE) is increasingly recognized as a vital component of global efforts toward
sustainability. This paper examines the integration of EE into school curricula through a
multidisciplinary and holistic approach. Drawing from historical developments, current trends, case
studies, and implementation frameworks, it highlights how environmental education transcends
traditional subject boundaries to promote critical thinking, values education, and action-oriented learning.
While infusion models and whole-school approaches have gained traction, implementation remains
uneven due to challenges such as limited teacher training, inconsistent policy application, and structural
barriers within traditional curricula. The paper advocates for strategic curriculum alignment, culturally
responsive pedagogies, professional development for educators, and stakeholder engagement as essential
strategies for embedding environmental consciousness into education systems. Ultimately, integrating
environmental education holistically into schools is necessary for cultivating environmentally literate
citizens capable of addressing complex global and local ecological challenges.
