摘要：The paper is a contribution to the discussion on individual aspects of education for environment, with particular emphasis on education about the issues of energy efficiency and conservation as topics of extreme importance in modern society. Earlier studies showed that education and informing the public about these issues were crucial preconditions for spreading the use of renewable sources of energy in Croatia. The idea about the importance of education about renewable sources of energy was based on the assumption of the responsibility of an individual, which is also the basis of the model of education for democratic citizenship. New studies on education for environment point to a common tendency towards qualifying for participation and decision making, in comparison with earlier forms of education, which were based only on providing information. In conclusion, the paper considers the framework of education for citizenship by Marthe Nussbaum as an example of several principles that might be important when making the programme of education about energy issues.
