摘要：The search for livelihoods in Nigeria is negatively impacting the natural environment and sustainability by extension. This is
because, several socio-economic activities through which livelihoods are derived such as agriculture construction, mining and
others are being carried out in unsustainable manner. Although Nigerian government have over the years promogated a
number of environmental laws aimed at addressing the rapid rate of degradation induced mainly by unsustainable use of
resources, environmental challenges in the country still remain high because the of low level of awareness of environmental
laws and weak mechanism of enforcement. Degradation activities impede sustainable livelihoods in any geographical area.
One way by which sustainable livelihoods can be achieved for the purpose of sustainability is through education, hence the
examination in this paper the concepts of environmental education and sustainable livelihood; the link between livelihood
and environment; spatial pattern of environmental problems and their effect on livelihoods and methods of promoting
environmental education for sustainable development.
