Abstract: Environment education is an important area of education in promoting environmental awareness and protection. Despite tremendous achievements China has made in this area, there are still shortcomings, namely, low level of environmental awareness, too many introductions of theories from abroad without innovations, lack of systematic guidelines, shortage of thorough-going analysis of important issues, deficiency of environment educators, and oversimplification in environment disciplines. Only bear those shortcomings in mind can we realize rapid development in Chinese environment education.
