A pesquisa em educação ambiental: perspectivas e enfrentamentos

Abstract

This article records the reflections I presented at the round table Research in EA in the 10 years of EPEA, at the X EPEA, held at the Federal University of Sergipe, in the city of Aracaju, from 01 to 04 September 2019. The table's proposal was to take stock of environmental education and point out the main challenges and confrontations of EA in the current scenario. Like my speech, this article is organized in three stages. I start with an assessment of EA in the first decade of the 21st century, bringing selected data from a research on the state of the art of scientific production in EA, in which I participated with Carmen Farias / UFRPE and Marcelo Borges / UFSC, published in an international journal of AND THE . In the second part of the article, I dedicate myself to contextualizing the social climate we lived in Brazil when the X EPEA was held, and the main challenges we considered at that juncture. In the third part, I briefly identify what I think are the main challenges facing EA that can strengthen us for the creative resistance and resilience that the current moment demands.
