Despite the advances produced during the last decade in the elaboration of indices and indicators related to sustainability, few initiatives have been committed to the study and availability of a set of specific indicators for the analysis of projects and actions of environmental education. The objective of the present study was to identify, validate and propose a set of indicators able to evaluate actions and projects of environmental education. For this, a systematic literature review (RBS) was carried out on the evaluation of projects and indicators of environmental education usually adopted, identifying 60 scientific articles aligned with the research theme for analysis and selection of indicators. After reading and considering the selected articles (including other complementary references), a set of indicators was organized and elaborated to allow evaluating the actions and process of environmental education. The selected indicators were organized according to their application dimensions: participation/involvement/mobilization; communication; institutional/articulation; EE approaches/strategies/actions; methods/techniques/procedures; concomitant actions; action results. Finally, the list of indicators that were validated by the 3S validation methodology (self validation; scientific validation; social validation) was organized, involving specialists and actors participating in the research. The validated indicators are organized into their respective dimensions of analysis, indicating the possible moments of their application (before, during and/or after carrying out the actions of the environmental education project), in order to allow analyzing and verifying essential aspects and characteristics of the different stages of the execution of the actions, aiming at the continuous improvements and refinements of the environmental education process.
