Éducation à l’environnement et au développement durable
L’éducation à l’environnement et au développement durable (EEDD) est un levier essentiel pour diffuser des connaissances, impulser des changements de comportements et mettre chacun en capacité d’être acteur au quotidien de la transformation et de la mise en œuvre des objectifs de développement durable. L’accès à l’information et à la connaissance des sujets de développement durable participe d’une meilleure appréhension des enjeux de la transition écologique et solidaire. Les nouvelles formes de diffusion de l’information, numériques et audiovisuelles, contribuent à enrichir cette connaissance, portée par une multitude d’acteurs vers des publics aux profils variés. Le rapport sur l’état de l’environnement en France s’inscrit dans cette démarche.
Environmental education and sustainable development (EEDD) is an essential lever for disseminating knowledge, driving behavioral change and empowering everyone to be an agent of daily transformation and implementation of sustainable development objectives. Access to information and knowledge on sustainable development topics contributes to better understanding of ecological and inclusive transition challenges. New forms of information dissemination, digital and audiovisual, help enrich this knowledge, carried by a multitude of actors to diverse audiences. The report on the state of the environment in France is part of this approach.

- Strong Local DimensionTerritorial AnchoringEEDD is grounded in and derives meaning from understanding what is at stake at the local level.Local Experiments and Social InnovationLocal experiments, territorial projects and social innovation initiatives foster new forms of mobilization, participation, self-learning and peer-to-peer training - residents, employees, students, entrepreneurs, elected officials, consumers... They strengthen each person's adaptive capacity and agency for the necessary transformation of lifestyles.Role of Local AuthoritiesA local authority is a permanent network of production circuits, social ties, culture and interdependent environmental resources. Through the diversity of initiatives and actions of awareness-raising, information, education and participation offered to all audiences throughout life, EEDD implemented by territories constitutes an essential support point particularly for public policies of the Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition.Themes and Agenda 2030EEDD integrates themes championed by the Ministry - water, mobility, food, energy, climate, waste, biodiversity, risks, modes of production and consumption - and proposes a systemic approach to sustainable development challenges. It contributes to Priority 3 of France's Agenda 2030 roadmap: 'Relying on education and lifelong learning to enable behavioral and lifestyle change adapted to the world to be built and sustainable development challenges'.
