Ecopedagogy scholar Richard Kahn describes the three main goals of the ecopedagogy movement to be:

# Creating opportunities for the proliferation of ecoliteracy programs, both within schools and society.
# Bridging the gap of praxis between scholars and the public (especially activists) on ecopedagogical interests.
# Instigating dialogue and self-reflective solidarity across the many groups among educational left, particularly in light of the existing planetary crisis.

Angela Antunes and Moacir Gadotti (2005) write:

Ecopedagogy is not just another pedagogy among many other pedagogies. It not only has meaning as an alternative project concerned with nature preservation (Natural Ecology) and the impact made by human societies on the natural environment (Social Ecology), but also as a new model for sustainable civilization from the ecological point of view (Integral Ecology), which implies making changes on economic, social, and cultural structures.
