Abstract The transition from centralized energy systems based on fossil fuels to renewable-based systems is a macro-level societal shift necessitated by climate change. This review of recent environmental education (EE) research identifies gaps and opportunities for promoting environmental action in this new context. We found that environmental educators and researchers are currently focused on researching and promoting energy conservation behavior with an emphasis on children and youth. We also found an emerging research focus on energy transitions at the regional and national levels. We recommend that environmental educators and researchers adopt a vision and strategy for climate change and energy education that more explicitly addresses the role of collective action, multiactor networks, and sociotechnical innovation in shaping energy transition processes.

转型中的环境教育：对气候变化和能源教育近期研究的批判性回顾

摘要 从以化石燃料为基础的集中能源系统向以可再生能源为基础的系统的转变是气候变化所必需的宏观社会转变。对近期环境教育 (EE) 研究的回顾确定了在这种新背景下促进环境行动的差距和机会。我们发现环境教育者和研究人员目前专注于研究和促进节能行为，重点是儿童和青少年。我们还发现了一个新兴的研究重点是区域和国家层面的能源转型。我们建议环境教育者和研究人员采用气候变化和能源教育的愿景和战略，更明确地解决集体行动、多方网络、
