Abstract
Environmental education has been given a higher priority on the educational agenda in recent years in Hong Kong. This paper reviews the studies on environmental education in secondary schools with special reference to the contribution of secondary school geography towards environmental education. The studies show that only a limited number of schools had circulated and discussed the Guidelines on Environmental Education in Schools; insufficient attention is given to the co-ordination of environmental education; and the contribution of geography curricula to education about the environment is substantial compared with education in/through and for the environment.
