Аннотация:An International implementation scheme for the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005-2014) proposed the fostering of environmental education as an important tool in the integrating people knowledge and learning strategies, strengthening links between learning and research of environment. This issue becomes important for Russia when the increase of oil and other mineral resources mining lead to worsening of the environmental situation, that ’s why it is vital to raise environmental aware and responsibility of the young generations.
The different types of continuous environmental education in Russia are considered. Basic high school environmental education is delivered principally through universities and institutes. The system of multi-step higher education includes bachelors (4 years), diploma specialists (5 years) and masters (6 years), but some of universities exclude now diploma specialist level to be more compatible with the educational system in the Western world. Applied engineering environmental education opportunities are mainly provided by technological universities and specialized institutes and related with different environmental problems resulting from anthropogenic impact.The different forms of extra curricular environmental education were studied: environmental games - the game activity of the participants stimulating a high level of motivation, interest and emotional participation; children's environmental movement - mass form of environmental education, organizing and coordinating eco-volunteers. NGO “Fund for Sustainable Development” within the joint UNESCO Moscow Office/Coca-Cola HBC Eurasia programme the Living Volga, participated in development the structure and concept of the game Brain Ring for children aged from 12 and youth devoted to environmental issues of the Volga Basin flora and fauna. Also the project “Green Schools” was implemented in Moscow under support of ExxonMobil company: the schoolchildren was studied the new practices for energy-water-wastes management, improving environment inside schools and in the backyards. The multilevels environment education assumes the bi-vector matrix of basic and applied environmental education with participation of academic institutes and non-governmental organisations and allows to build viable and environmentally-sound education system.
