The Articulation of Environmental Management Policies between the Local Government and the Education Sector

Abstract

The present opinion essay will serve to give greater relevance to the topic of articulation between the environmental management policies of local governments and the education sector, which to date have been working independently, generating a problem in the conservation and care of the environment. The objective is to generate greater commitment in the expansion of knowledge and information that generates the care and protection of the environment, through the articulation of local management called municipal with the education sector. Today, with the technological advances that are taking place and globalization, while they generate an impact on the development of countries, it generates a concern since it is impacting the environment and affecting the health of citizens, generating the importance of holding thematic tables in local governments, with the education sector, generating greater social responsibility in schools, universities, and higher institutes, as well as at the national, regional, and local levels. According to authors such as Aguilera (2018), Chávez (2020), Farfán, Montilla, and Pinargote (2018), Fuentealba (2014), and Ibáñez and Amador (2017), they refer to environmental education as part of the development and learning of people, making them more aware of the importance of acquiring knowledge in the care and protection of the environment, where local governments promote the commitment to improve the dialogue and commitment of a successful municipal management.
