Abstract

The article analyses how educational syllabi and textbooks on the history of Ukraine represent topics related to the most important events and phenomena defined by David Christian in his book ‘The Great History of Everything’ (Christian, 2018). Also, the authors analyse environmental issues in general to draw the attention of colleagues to changing approaches to the study of history at school. For Ukraine, the preservation of statehood, concerning the RussianUkrainian war, is currently important, but the environmental consequences of Russia’s aggression should not be overlooked by educators. According to the authors’ opinion, it should be considered in the context of the environmental policy of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Another important aspect with which the article deals is the analysis of history education reforms. On the one hand, the concept of the New Ukrainian School provides the development of environmental competencies using civic and historical education. On the other hand, an anthropocentric approach with an emphasis on political history prevails in the programs and on the pages of textbooks. Therefore, it is necessary to involve researchers and educators in broader discussions that would lead to faster and better changes in history education, considering current global challenges.
