Ine Kentucky Environmental Education Council was established in 1990 by KRS 157.910 and is charged with improving the environmental literacy of all Kentuckyians. The Council provides opportunities for all Kentuckyians to understand both that environmental problems exist and how each person's actions contribute to the health of the environment. In accordance with KRS 224.10-250, the Council receives the first $150,000 in environmental fines and penalties collected by the Energy and Environment Cabinet for funding programs and activities that improve the quality of environmental education in the Commonwealth. These programs and activities include:

Working with citizens, especially those engaged in environmental education, to implement the master plan for improving environmental education and environmental literacy.

Working with the Kentucky Department of Education, the Education Professional Standards Board, and agencies that make up the Environmental Education Interagency Committee to establish guidelines for improving professional development in environmental education for educators.

Establishing standards for environmental education that fit within the Kentucky Department of Education’s instructional standards and help ensure balanced, ecologically-based curriculum and instruction.

Working to ensure that environmental education is equitably distributed to all Kentuckians.

Additionally, in accordance with KRS 224.43-505, the Council provides interest accrued on the Kentucky Pride Fund, a fund that receives environmental remediation fees charged on each ton of waste disposed of at Kentucky landfills, to the eight state public universities to operate environmental education centers.
