The purpose of this paper is to present what environmental education and education for sustainable development are, as well as to showcase environmental education and education for sustainable development in outdoor settings, highlight its benefits, and provide specific examples. The educational process is complex, yet holistic, and it is focused on the child and their well-being. The environment encompasses everything around us and offers numerous benefits for both adults and children, as well as their education and upbringing. Due to the increasing pollution of nature and the environment and the reckless use of chemical agents, it is necessary to teach children about the protection and preservation of the environment and nature. Sustainable development can be explained as an approach that uses available resources while considering future generations. Educators strive to promote respect for human rights, respect for social differences, environmental conservation, and accountability for one's actions. All of this constitutes education for sustainable development. It is believed that if a child grows up without the influence of nature, they do not find themselves in the natural world, and it is important to provide children with contact with nature and time spent outdoors. Given that the kindergarten, as an educational institution, represents the first step in so-called learning to live, this paper emphasizes the need to train children from an early age to think ecologically and to communicate in that manner, a form of education that can be termed ecological education. The emphasis is on educators who should be sufficiently competent and educated, possessing the necessary competencies in ecological development to implement education for sustainable development. This paper also highlights the competencies required and the path of educators' education, noting that the training and education of educators should be ongoing and uninterrupted. The paper reveals the numerous advantages of environmental education and education for sustainable development in outdoor settings, which is indeed the goal of this paper. It aims to bring these concepts closer and highlight their significant meanings and benefits.
