This article presents the findings of a study on the current trend in environmental education carried out in nine countries of the region of Latin America and the Caribbean during 2008 and 2009. The intention was to evaluate the regional effects of the plan to implement the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development internationally five years after having gone into operation. This will characterize regional trends and opportunities in this field of education and map out appropriate strategies for strengthening and consolidating them in light of the tension originating from the appearance of education for sustainable development.
