How can nature connectedness and behaviours for learning be deliberately developed in children, adolescents and young adults? A systematic literature review
How can nature connectedness and behaviours for learning be deliberately developed in children, adolescents and young adults? A systematic literature review
Nature sustains lives, enhances well-being and benefits human populations in many ways. In a world dominated by human technology, the task of effectively reconnecting to and caring for nature is both urgent and vital. Evidence shows that many children and young people (CYP) feel increasingly disconnected from nature Schools and other settings could play a crucial role in promoting time spent in nature, potentially fostering nature connectedness (NC) and improving behaviours for learning (BFL).

Abstract
Nature sustains lives, enhances well-being and benefits human populations in many ways. In a world dominated by human technology, the task of effectively reconnecting to and caring for nature is both urgent and vital. Evidence shows that many children and young people (CYP) feel increasingly disconnected from nature Schools and other settings could play a crucial role in promoting time spent in nature, potentially fostering nature connectedness (NC) and improving behaviours for learning (BFL).
