Alfabetização ecológica como uma expressão do direito ambiental : uma análise a partir da educação ambiental

Abstract

This dissertation addresses ecological literacy as an expression of environmental law, exploring its relationship with environmental education and the normative principles that support it. The research is based on a transdisciplinary and systemic approach, engaging with fields such as philosophy, ethics-politics, and education, with the aim of proposing a broad and integrated understanding of environmental law. It is founded on ecosophy, an ethical-political environmental reflection inspired by Félix Guattari, as a means to assist in building critical awareness and transforming paradigms regarding the relationship between humans and the environment. The dissertation is structured into three chapters. The first chapter discusses ecosophy as an ethical element of environmental law, presenting its philosophical foundations and its potential contribution to ecological literacy. The second chapter focuses on environmental education in Brazil, analyzing regulatory guidelines such as the National Environmental Education Policy (PNEA), the National Curriculum Guidelines for Environmental Education (DCNEA), Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.7, and the National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC), emphasizing the role of environmental education in fostering an environmentally responsible culture. The third chapter proposes an integrated approach to ecological literacy, ecosophy, and environmental ethics politics, aiming to consolidate a holistic and practical vision for environmental law. The adopted methodology is exploratory bibliographic and qualitative, using sources such as legislation, academic reference works, dissertations, and scientific articles, allowing for a critical and systemic analysis of the topic. The study seeks to understand contemporary environmental challenges, such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, identifying the need for a new perspective that unifies science, philosophy, and public policies. The justification for this research lies in its social, scientific, and academic importance, promoting ecological literacy as a tool to transform society's relationship with the environment, contributing to more sustainable policies and the formation of more conscious and engaged citizens. The research aims to provide theoretical and practical insights for educators, policymakers, and public policy makers, contributing to an educational approach that overcomes fragmented models and promotes a systemic and critical understanding of the environment. Finally, the dissertation emphasizes the need to "break down the walls" of environmental law, expanding its scope beyond legal norms, and recognizing its philosophical and ethical essence. Thus, ecological literacy is presented as a promising pathway for building critical and participatory ecological awareness, essential for sustainability and the balance between society and nature, serving as an expression of environmental law.
