Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the perspectives of the integration of Environmental Education in the school curriculum through the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC), focusing on the promotion of sustainability and the development of a critical and responsible citizenship. The methodology adopted was the bibliographic research, which involved the review of official documents of the BNCC, academic articles and specialized books on Environmental Education and sustainability, allowing a deep understanding of the relationship between the BNCC and the environmental theme. The results indicated that the BNCC, by treating sustainability as a transversal axis, offers an interdisciplinary approach that connects environmental issues to various areas of knowledge, promoting a holistic view of sustainability. In addition, it was identified that the effective implementation of Environmental Education depends on the continuous training of teachers and the engagement of school communities. In conclusion, the research highlighted the importance of the BNCC in the formation of conscious and critical citizens, capable of acting responsibly in relation to the environment, and highlighted the need for a constant effort to ensure that Environmental Education becomes an integral part of the pedagogical practice in Brazilian schools, contributing to the construction of a more sustainable society.
