<![CDATA[Human activities are increasingly disrupting the balance between economic development and environmental sustainability, highlighting the urgent need for effective environmental education. This study investigates how environmental education functions as a catalyst for fostering harmonious relationships between humans and the natural surroundings. We address the urgent problem of environmental degradation driven by the prioritization of business interests over ecological well-being and explore how informed human resources can mitigate these impacts. This research uses a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, which utilizes the PRISMA technique to analyze various literature sources, including books, journal articles, and reviews. Data collection focuses on publications from the Scopus database in the period April 2019 to May 2024, using keywords such as "Environment," "Catalyst," "Environmental Education," and "Human." Bibliometric analysis uses a VOSviewer catalyst to visualize interconnections and emerging trends in the field. These findings highlight the critical role of environmental education in fostering an environmentally conscious society that values sustainability. By integrating environmental knowledge into educational curricula, we can grow a generation capable of addressing ecological challenges and balancing economic and environmental priorities. This study underscores the importance of environmental education in shaping a sustainable future and offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators and stakeholders committed to promoting environmental management. The implications of these findings for policy and decision-making are significant, as they provide a robust foundation for developing effective environmental education strategies and initiatives.]]>
