Abstract	This booklet discusses the present state of environmental adult education and its major difficulties and shortcomings and develops recommendations for further development of this field. Section 1 discusses linking environmental and social issues and locating environmental problems within the context of one's daily life and action. Section 2 focuses on strengthening collaboration between environmentalists and adult educators. Section 3 addresses environmental education as a central theme for adult education. Section 4 highlights the urgent task of environmental education to overcome misconceptions about a conflict between economic growth and sustainable development. Section 5 considers one main issue that women's projects address: the consumption of fuel for cooking and heating and the use of environmental-friendly resources for the whole community. Section 6 describes the global dimensions of current environmental problems. Section 7 emphasizes the need to promote and build on local knowledge and indigenous traditions in environmental education. (YLB)
