This overview of the International Environmental Education Programme (IEEP) begins with an introduction which outlines IEEP objectives and goes on to provide, in section 2, a working definition of environmental education (EE). This is followed by three reports, on the Belgrade Workshop on Environmental Education, regional conferences, and the Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education (ICEE) respectively. The first report includes "The Belgrade Charter--A Global Framework for Environmental Education," which focuses on the environmental situation, environmental action goals, EE goals, EE objectives, and guiding principles of EE programs. It also describes workshops proceedings, and gives a list of working papers discussed at the conference. The ICEE report includes discussions of major environmental problems in contemporary society, the general conference report (addressing such issues as environmental problems and the role of education, current EE efforts, national level strategies, EE programs and curricula, instructional materials, personnel training), and the declaration adopted by conference delegates. Provided in appendices are descriptions of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Environmental Education Network, and UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme; the main working document for the ICEE; and a statement by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (presented at the ICEE conference) which focuses on its role in environmental education.
