摘要：Teachers play a predominant role in imparting knowledge and sensitizing the students and society about the environment. They help to tackle the various environmental issues. Environmental problems have increased tremendously because environment is being abused beyond its capacity by human beings. Issues related to environmental problems have become a major concern for the international community particularly for educational policy makers and curriculum developers. Environmental Education is a powerful sensitization tool for the conservation of Environment, its biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources. Teachers are the potential change agents and are capable of generating a workforce of enlightened, skilled and motivated learners using formal and non formal channels of education. It is now even more critical than ever before for mankind as a whole to have a clear understanding of environmental concerns and to follow sustainable development practices. Teachers should be actively involved in the implementation of environmental education programs. Several measures and strategies have been considered to intervene. Among these is the use of school curriculum by teachers to impart knowledge to protect and preserve environment for sustainable development.
