Abstract

This chapter discusses the interfaces between Environmental Education 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence (AI), analyzing how the integration of technological innovation and critical pedagogical processes can contribute to the development of sustainable cities. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the text highlights the importance of AI in environmental monitoring, urban management, and public policy-making, while also emphasizing the ethical and social risks associated with its use. It argues that true innovation does not lie solely in the application of advanced technologies, but in the ability to foster critical, conscious, and engaged citizens in socio-environmental transformation. Thus, Environmental Education 4.0 is proposed as a pathway to strengthen digital environmental citizenship and guide the construction of more inclusive, resilient, and humanized cities.
