“…The Ministry of Environment built a center for EE, and it also established an environmental strategy (Sarabhai & Chhokar, 2009). Due to this, teaching and learning about EE are now required at all levels of formal education in India, making it one of the very few nations worldwide (Sharma & Kanaujia, 2020). National policy of instruction from 1986 served as the foundation for the current EE in schools, which was changed in 1992 to address the goal of EE by incorporating it into the educational process at all levels of school instruction (National Council of Educational Research and Training [NCERT], 2005;Sarkar, 2014;Vasistha, 2010).…”

“…A national core team and regional teams are working with state boards to promote EE in their states while running orientation sessions and creating training materials. Similar to this, in Indian schools, EE curriculum is taught or implemented through three pedagogical approaches: the addition of independent subjects, extracurricular activities (Bhatia, 2020;NCERT, 2005;Sharma & Kanaujia, 2020;Sharma & Menon, 1996). Additionally, environmental studies (EVS) has been introduced as a stand-alone subject in primary school (grade 3-grade 5) to foster an interest in the environment, in accordance with NCERT's recommendation for the three implementation approaches in the context of EE at the first stage of primary school (grade 1-grade 2).…”

“…Which follows the infusion approach for EE, and the teaching of science is linked to the daily life experiences of the children. And in senior secondary school (grade 11-grades 12), environmental concepts are given as an infusion approach in elective subjects like biology, geography, chemistry, economics, sociology, and language (Bhatia, 2020;NCERT, 2005;Sharma, 2017;Sharma & Kanaujia, 2020;Sharma & Menon, 1996).…”

Increasing environmental awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and motivation to address environmental challenges and improve the environment are the main goals of environmental education (EE). Using a goal-based, process-based education evaluation model and parameters like the integration of EE in environmental policy, the potential rich environmental content of the curriculum, and education about, in/through, and for the environment using secondary data, it was possible to evaluate the effectiveness of EE. With the exception of India, the legal evolution of EE across Africa, particularly after the Earth Submit Declaration, has been similar and attempted to be incorporated at the legislative level. In India and Tanzania, where EE is about, in/through, and for the environment practiced, it is integrated into the curriculum at all grade levels. These countries also tried to promote indigenous knowledge and practical-based education on local and global environmental aspects. Whereas in Ethiopia, in lower grades, EE is about the school and little in/through the environment and hardly for the environment, in South Africa, there is hardly any structured, harmonized, and effective practical implementation of EE. Due to fewer government concerns, generalized integration, a lack of a well-written strategy, and financial and technological constraints, EE in Africa is not applied, is ground-based and is ineffective. Therefore, it should incorporate EE in all subjects at all school levels and needs further study on the effectiveness of EE.

A dynamic approach to mandatory building standards is a principle-based approach. This approach complements rule-based standards for buildings and takes into consideration the principles behind building regulatory reform such as sustainability, building life-cycle and their social and economic co-benefits. This paper highlights how a principle-based approach can potentially address the engagement mechanisms with building stakeholders in one performance scheme. Instead of setting a one-time high-performance building target, principle-based targets are consecutively set by Principle-based Responsive Regulation that encourages adaptation through public policy consultations, incentives and disincentives, as well as enforcement mechanisms, working in unison to lower building-sector carbon emissions. This can be encouraged and enforced through responsive pyramids, giving stakeholders of the sector flexibility in selecting adaptation strategies to meet building performance targets. The discussions in this paper are limited to examining the potential application of principle-based responsive regulation approaches to the building sector.
