The need for environmental literacy in development agenda has been pressing since the UN proposed the agenda of achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the vital aspect of in sustainable development is about waste management to reduce earth’s pollution. Environmental Literacy were considered as one of the few perspectives necessary for SDGs to be achieved. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), formerly known as Environmental Education, through science education is one way to develop the environmental literacy of the society through classroom activities. One approach that fits closely to this need is STEAM approach. STEAM is a combination of five different disciplines namely Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. This approach has a room for developing students’ environmental literacy within its Arts aspect. Teaching Environmental literacy through STEAM would help students not only learning how to be a scientist or engineer, but also building their scientific awareness to environmental issue, which will be the underlying value of their STEM insight. This study seeks to find the current state of the arts of this concept through a bibliometric research. This research was conducted using the Publish or Perish application to create a database of journal articles, which further managed using Zotero application. After managing the database, this study classified and visualized the database using VOSviewer software. The terms “Environmental Literacy”, “STEAM”, and “waste management” were used to search the relevant published journal article related to all three concepts, as indexed in Google Scholar since 1969 to 2020. This study found only a total of 163 result from Google Scholar Index. Further refinement of the results shows that published research are still scarce in the last 51 years and in need of further study to strengthen the concept. Authors also discuss about several suggestions on how STEAM could be considered as a way to develop students Environmental Literacy on waste management.

Abstract: Environmental issues have triggered a complex relationship between society and nature. The role of environmental education is crucial to relate society, environment, biodiversity and sustainability. Current paper analyzes the concept of environmental education and sustainable development by post-graduate students in Education in Science and Mathematics of a Brazilian university. Qualitative research was undertaken in July 2014 by content analysis of the questionnaires and interviews (Lüdke e André, 1986) on the environmental theme. Current analysis showed that environmental education is intensely studied in primary education, albeit in a conservationist mode due to the lack of initial and continuous formation. Several participating students underlined that they had never taught environmental education in the primary school since they never had any contact with the discipline in their undergraduate course, a gap in initial formation. Although formation is urgent, it is greatly impaired and barriers have to be overcome. It is the case of one´s own formation, difficulties in interdisciplinary inclusion and the need of public policies in environmental education in higher education. Environmental education is increasingly being taught in all teaching levels for environmental sustainability, while professionals have improved their upgrading to contribute towards the long process in changes for a better life quality.Keywords: Sustainability.

Diante dessa realidade, é fundamental o papel da educação ambiental a fim de relacionar sociedade, ambiente, biodiversidade e sustentabilidade. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a visão de educação ambiental e do desenvolvimento sustentável pelos alunos do curso de Pós-Graduação em Educação para a Ciência e a Matemática de uma universidade brasileira. A pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada em julho de 2014, por meio da análise de conteúdo dos questionários e entrevista (Lüdke e André, 1986) acerca da temática ambiental. O estudo demonstrou que a educação ambiental é bastante trabalhada no ensino básico, no entanto, de maneira conservacionista, o que ocorre devido à ausência da formação, tanto inicial como continuada. Vários participantes destacaram que nunca havia trabalhado educação ambiental no ensino básico, simplesmente porque nunca tiveram contado com a disciplina na graduação, ou seja, ausência da formação inicial. Embora a formação seja uma necessidade iminente, ainda é barrada por muitos obstáculos que necessitam ser vencidos, como é o caso da própria formação, a dificuldade da inclusão interdisciplinar e a necessidade de políticas públicas da educação ambiental no ensino superior. Concluiu-se que a educação ambiental, vem ganhando espaços em todos os níveis de ensino em busca da sustentabilidade ambiental, os profissionais, têm buscado melhorar sua autoformação, para que possam contribuir nesse longo processo de mudanças para uma vida melhor.Palavras-chave: Sustentabilidade.

Abstract Well-organised waste management is an essential part of sustainable development. The saving of resources and energy is everyone’s concern and environmental education is vital to guarantee a sustainable lifestyle in the long run. To find out what similarities and differences in views regarding waste management exist between grammar school pupils and comprehensive school pupils in England, questionnaires were designed and distributed in two schools in the same English city. The questionnaires aimed at quantifying and establishing students’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviour regarding waste management. The results illustrate that students from the grammar school had higher levels of knowledge, were more likely to recycle and used more sources of information regarding waste management. Waste reduction was considered important by almost all students. However, students in both schools considered composting and waste reduction as less important than recycling and thereby did not fully agree with sustainable waste management.

AbstractIn this contribution, I examine the links between the human rights basis of the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) and its embeddedness in the UN Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. While the GCM grew out of a development framework, it was rapidly incorporated into the UN human rights system. Even during the negotiation of the GCM, human rights took priority over development. The resistance that was manifested against the GCM on its endorsement by the UN General Assembly was directed not against its development links, but rather concerns about its human rights impact. This paper examines the placing of migration in this dual framework and the ways in which outcomes compatible with both are achievable.
