绿色教育在中国：思想与行动

Green Education in China: Thoughts and Action

绿色教育在中国既是思想上的探索，又是行动上的创新，是思想与行动相互促进的结果。中国绿色教育的第一种理解源于世纪之交的环境保护浪潮以及由此产生的环境保护教育的需要，无论是“中国中小学绿色教育行动”还是全国性的“绿色学校”创建都是如此。中国绿色教育的第二种内涵是把环境保护与人类发展结合起来的可持续发展教育，是以人类为中心的可持续发展教育思想探索与行动创新。随着生命教育思想在中国的提出和传播，中国绿色教育又开始了对生命教育思想的交融和借鉴，这构成了第三种中国绿色教育内涵。面向未来，中国绿色教育应该在可能的涵义范围以及国家社会与教育使命中寻找其社会与教育内涵。

Green education in China is not only the exploration of thoughts, but also the innovation of action, it is the result of mutual promotion of thoughts and action. Green education in China originated from environmental protection and education needs from it at the turn of new century, which has been represented by“Environmental Educators' Initiative”and the national construction of“Green School”. The second connotation of green education in China is the education for sustainable development combining environmental protection and human development；it is the exploration and innovation of the educational thoughts and action of the human-centered sustainable development. With the proposal and increasing popularity of life education in China, green education in China has begun to refer to and integrate with the thought of life education, which constitutes the third connotation of green education in China. In the future, green education in China should seek its social and educational connotation within the potential range of connotation on the basis of the national, social and education missions.
