This paper presents a retrospect of environmental history from the emergence of mankind and its first significant interventions in nature, to its position as a force of equal magnitude to natural forces, with the possibility of inaugurating a new geological epoch, called Anthropocene. In sequence, the main international environmental conferences are described together with their effects on the Brazilian legal system. A reflection is made about our national political scenario, seeking to unravel how or how much the recent changes in the Ministry of the Environment compromise the environmental education. When any retrogression of the theme was perceived, we tried to estimate how and how many years of evolution and impregnation of a concept were compromised. Finally, we verify whether there is a correspondence between the international discourse on environmental education and our homeland scenario, through its prominent insertion in the legislation and budgetary guarantee for the execution of programs and projects on this subject.
