| description | The article points out the priority of ecological education, and ecological education in the educational process focuses attention on the purpose and fundamental tasks of ecological education at the current stage. It is also noted that great attention has been paid to the problem of environmental education during the past two decades in Ukraine, particularly the active development of both formal and informal types of environmental education. It is emphasized that the content of environmental education should be the formation of a personality with an ecological outlook on compliance with the norms of ecologically correct behavior and the implementation of practical actions to protect one's health and the natural environment, as well as the development of a system of scientific knowledge. The concept and classification of ecological consciousness are discussed. It is indicated that the multi-level and fundamental environmental education and promotion system is a mandatory condition for forming environmental awareness. It is noted which set of solutions should be implemented to increase the level of environmental awareness of Ukrainians and to form a helpful attitude towards the environment. Thus, it is proposed to implement legislative and institutional. Budgetary solutions: to start conducting systematic sociological studies of the state of environmental consciousness of Ukrainians, to develop an actual concept of continuous environmental education and enlightenment of all categories and strata of the population, to annually allocate funds to the state budget for the implementation of these measures, to attract international financial assistance, mechanisms of public-private partnership, disseminate information with clarifications of legislation, ways of implementing environmental regulations. Attention is focused on the results of research by several scientists, who prove that using modern weapons during military conflicts negatively affects the ecological state, destroys natural ecosystems and biocenotic relationships, and causes human intervention in natural processes. The fundamental environmental problems that arise as a result of hostilities, as well as the main environmental problems caused by russia's war against Ukraine, are identified. It pointed out the importance of changing environmental awareness and the need for strict control over compliance with the requirements of environmental legislation on the part of responsible state institutions, especially in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine, to solve environmental problems, as well as to train Ukrainian citizens with a high level of environmental knowledge, environmental awareness, and culture based on new criteria for assessing the relationship between human society and nature. The prospects of further research in the development of this topic are substantiated. |
