Teaching and learning of concepts within the science, technology, society, and environment (STSE) approach, such as energy, are key elements in improving students’ competencies in sustainability within the framework of environmental education. The overall objective of this research has been to analyze the concept of energy in secondary education curriculum from a sustainable perspective. Likewise, the levels of cognitive demand in the curriculum for the students’ acquisition of the concept are analyzed. The design of the research is a descriptive, exploratory type, with mixed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained data. A methodology similar to that carried out in other researches was followed, and an analysis established a system of categories to classify the references found. The results obtained reveal that the regulations that govern teaching of secondary education (12–18 years) deal in depth, and in an compulsory way, with the concept of energy. However, more action is required to promote sustainability at all stages of education, in order to alleviate current and future environmental problems.

This article aims to diagnose the factors of activing and creating environment clubs as unavoidable educational structures helping to anchor environmental education in the Moroccan schools. In order to achieve this objective, questionnaires were distributed to 40 teachers practicing in fifteen schools distributed in three provincial directorates belonging to the regional academy of education and training of Tanger – Tetouan – Al Hoceima. According to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of these questionnaires, environmental clubs constitute important educational structures able to ensure the development of the environmental culture in the educational practices within schools. However, many constraints to the activation of these clubs were reported by the interviewed teachers, in particular those related to the hourly load and the overload of the school curricula, the lack of supervision and the training of teachers and the absence of the teaching and learning materials necessary for environmental education activities. The key element of activating the environmental clubs in schools appears to be initial and continuous training of teachers. This training should focus on the techniques of the integration of the environmental dimension which includes educational projects and innovative activities with attractive scientific, ethical and civic purposes involving all actors and partners.

A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the environmental damages occurrences was conducted through the lawful documents established for charging at the State Prosecution Service of São Carlos city, State of São Paulo, during 1991 - 2000, to understand the relationship between environmental problems and the current development actions. The environmental damage identified were grouped into nine classes, where deforestation was prevailing in each year along the period of study. Of the total number of deforestation occurrences, 180 was related to areas smaller than 5 ha. It corresponded to 110.35 ha of the total deforested area. The other 37 were associated with areas higher than 5 ha, equivalent to 1,013.27 ha. The registers of environmental damages in the period in a rough estimate, corresponded to a mediam loss of 5.91 ± 4.14 ha/occurrence and of 112.36 ± 91.73 ha/year of deforested area.
