Environmental education (EE) plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development and ecological consciousness. Traditional EE, however, has been critiqued for its compartmentalized approach that limits learners' understanding of the interconnected nature of environmental issues. This research explores the necessity of adopting interdisciplinary and holistic strategies in EE. It evaluates pedagogical frameworks that integrate knowledge from natural sciences, social sciences, economics, and humanities to provide a more comprehensive educational model. Through a literature review and conceptual analysis, this paper argues for a transformative shift in EE that can address the multifaceted nature of global environmental challenges. The article concludes with recommendations for policy, curriculum design, and teacher training.
