RESUMOOs Estados agrupam-se em blocos, através de processos de integração regional, especialmente com fim econômico, apresentando-se, assim, como potenciais poluidores do meio ambiente. Precisam, portanto, assumir o compromisso de desenvolvimento sustentável, o que demanda a inserção de políticas internas de educação ambiental, com o fito de conscientizar toda a sociedade para a promoção de mudanças de atitude relacionadas ao meio ambiente. Há por isso, a necessidade de criação de entidades supranacionais com efetivo poder sancionatório como garantia da existência de um meio ambiente sadio.

ABSTRACTThe states are grouped in blocks, through processes of regional integration, especially for economic purposes, thus presenting themselves as potential polluters of the environment. They need, therefore, to commit to sustainable development, which demands the insertion of internal environmental education policies, in order to raise awareness in society to promote changes in attitudes related to the environment. There is therefore the need to create supranational entities with effective sanctioning power as a guarantee of the existence of a healthy environment.
