论环境教育构筑日本循环型社会

On Japan’s Construction of a Recycling-oriented Society on the Basis of Environmental Education

为实现经济和环境的协调发展,2000年,日本颁布《推进形成循环型社会基本法》,把建设循环型的可持续发展社会作为日本经济社会的总体发展目标。环境教育对提高日本国民意识、构筑日本循环型社会发挥着重要的作用。通过加强学校、企业、社会领域的环境教育,充实环境保护宣传,日本循环型社会取得了一定的进展。

In order to realize the harmonious construction of economy and environment, Japan enacted the “Basic Law for the Establishment of a Recycling-oriented Society” in the year 2000, setting the construction of a recycling-oriented society that affords sustainable development as the general goal of development. Environmental education plays an important role in the enhancement of Japanese people’s environment awareness as well as in the construction of a recycling-oriented society. By reinforcing environmental education and promoting environmental protection publicity in schools, businesses and the society as a whole, much progress has been made so far toward the goal of constructing a recycling-oriented society.
