A contribuição da educação ambiental à inclusão e à acessibilidade da pessoa com deficiência : uma análise a partir do direito ambiental

Abstract

The dissertation aims to analyze how environmental education can enhance inclusion and accessibility processes for people with disabilities from a normative and socio-environmental perspective. It addresses the contribution of environmental education to the inclusion and accessibility of this group, analyzing the issue through the lens of environmental law. An integrated approach is adopted, examining the intersection of public policies, environmental legislation, and the rights of these individuals, aiming to identify challenges and opportunities for implementing inclusive practices that ensure full and equal access to the environment for all, while fostering equity and sustainable citizenship. The study is structured into three main sections, analyzing Brazilian legislation on inclusion and accessibility and highlighting challenges faced by people with disabilities in situations of social vulnerability. It also investigates the contribution of constitutionalism and environmental law to promoting accessibility and social justice, emphasizing their relevance to creating a more inclusive and equitable urban environment. The research achieves its goal by proposing strategies to integrate environmental education and accessibility, aiming for effective inclusion. Based on an analytical-deductive methodology and literature review, it concludes that, despite solid normative foundations, the practical implementation of Brazilian legislation is limited. Environmental education is reinforced as an essential tool for inclusion, equity, and the construction of a sustainable and just society, ensuring the fundamental rights of all.
