To address environmental challenges, it is essential to identify and set goals and priorities for environmental education, as well as strategies to achieve those goals. We surveyed environmental education professionals (n = 449) to identify their 20-year priorities for the field. High-ranked goals included "expanding diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and justice in environmental education" and "increasing the presence of environmental education in the pre-K-12 curriculum." Four cross-cutting strategies were identified as ways to achieve multiple goals simultaneously: training, marketing, funding, and partnerships. The study additionally investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to address racial injustice have affected goals and priorities.
