TL;DR: This article made a case for early childhood to also be in the discussions of environmental education and made a survey of Australian and international research journals in Environmental Education and early childhood education seeking studies at their intersection.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that environmental education is an issue of profound importance, especially for young children, the inheritors of great possibilities, but also of major social and environmental problems and challenges, and it is imperative that early childhood teacher education, both preservice and inservice, be transformed to incorporate futures-oriented environmental education principles and practices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how teacher education academics embed sustainability education in learning and teaching, using a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles and identified the perceived challenges underpinning each of these approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the early childhood sector has been slow to take up this challenge, while other education sectors have implemented education for sustainability for many years, and the authors pose the question: Why has this sector been so slow to engage with sustainability? Explanations are proposed based on a review of research literature.

TL;DR: Young Children and the Environment as discussed by the authors is an essential text for students in early childhood education and a practical resource for child care practitioners and primary school teachers, it is designed to promote education for sustainability from birth to 8 years.
