Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the UNESCO/ United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Environmental Program and its Implications for British environmental education. The origin of the program was recommendation 96 of the UN Stockholm Conference, and UNESCO was given the responsibility because of its worldwide contacts and experience in the field of education and science. Following the Workshop in Beograd, the UNESCO Environmental Education Program has moved into a stage of consolidation and innovation. The channels through which UNESCO operates vary from one country to another, with the UNESCO National Commission being located in a number of different ministries. Very often, the valuable publications of UNESCO do not achieve a widespread circulation, and until April, the UK contact body for the UNESCO Environmental Education Program was the Ministry for Overseas Development, which is not involved in environmental education. Another problem with the UN and other international agencies is the amount of money they spend on grandiose events, fares, hotels, and expensive consultants. The environmental education movement in Britain must have something more than good intentions.
