The North American Association for Environmental Education Association (NAAEE) defines 

Environmental education (EE) as "a process that helps individuals, communities, and organizations learn more about the environment, and develop skills and understanding about how to address global challenges. It has the power to transform lives and society. It informs and inspires. It influences attitudes. It motivates action."
