What is the relationship of the Czech public toward nature and the environment? How do Czechs approach nature conservation, air pollution or climate change for example? And what makes them different from most of the Europeans? This book provides answers to these and many other questions. It presents the most important results from the representative surveys and research dealing with the attitudes and behaviour of the Czech public in the environmental field. The summary of public opinion in individual areas of nature conservation and environmental protection is illustrated by infographics. The extensive overview is followed by a new representative research, which examines the Czechs' relationship toward nature and the environment, and presents how the views of Czech society are distributed in this area. It is complemented by a study of public opinion on the current issue of drought.

The publication summarizes the results of a survey conducted in Czech schools in May-June 2016. The survey’s aim was to investigate how environmental education is implemented, e.g. what instructional strategies are used for fulfilling its goals. A total of 645 questionnaires were collected from respondents at the participating schools, 11 interviews were conducted with experienced teachers, and 9 case studies were produced at schools that had been selected as examples of best practice. The study shows both the strengths and weaknesses of environmental education as practiced in the Czech Republic. It presents environmental education as a strong field, but also points out specific weaknesses in its implementation. In its conclusion, the publication discusses the most important findings and suggests recommendations for the future support and development of environmental education at schools.
