Given the need to understand the current approaches to Environmental Education (EE) in the world, we answer the following questions: (i) Have the studies directed to EE received attention from the scientific community? (ii) what are the trends in EE publications? In the past years, there has been an increase in the number of publications on EE. Brazil stood out in the number of publications, reflecting the concern of Brazilian researchers to promote sustainability and biodiversity maintenance. As for the approaches, the studies are broad, ranging from the influence of policies on environmental protection to the importance of reflection at a global level, proposing international agreements. However, regarding the EE application, given the multiple existing currents, it is worth emphasizing the importance of the teaching-learning process to take place critically so that there is no favoring of the contents promoted and supported by a hegemonic class.
