Environmental problems to date are still a problem in society. Actually, this can also be seen from the pattern of the people themselves, how they maintain the environment. Environmental problems created by the community can actually be reduced by the existence of environmental education. As stated by Very Tri Jatmiko as the Head of the Division of Environmental Capacity Development, it turns out that “Environmental problems can be overcome by educating the public, but previously we have to look at the problem in general so that the education provided to the community can be appropriate”.
With the existence of environmental education, it is actually able to make people aware of their environment. There are many kinds of ways that can be applied in environmental education, such as workshops, counseling or pamphlets or other creative content. Basically maintaining ecology around is one of the concepts of SDG’s, but the concept cannot be applied to the people of Yogyakarta City.
“SDG’s is actually a good concept, but the community and stakeholders do not fully understand the concept,” Very said.
In closing the Public Lecture David Efendi added that in a great city there are certainly many people who are empowered. (and)
