Abstract

Environmental sustainability is a collective responsibility that requires concerted efforts at the individual, governmental, and societal levels to ensure a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations. It aims to achieve a balance between human needs and the environment's limited capacity to meet these needs without negatively impacting ecosystems. It also focuses on preserving natural resources, protecting them from degradation, and providing a healthy environment for current and future generations.

Accordingly, the current study aims to estimate the returns of a professional intervention program using the community organization method and promoting a culture of environmental sustainability among secondary school students through the dimensions of environmental sustainability (knowledge and awareness, environmental participation, environmental cooperation, and continuous environmental improvement).

This study falls within the scope of professional intervention returns estimation research (under the program returns evaluation model), using a quasi-experimental approach to measure the effect of an independent variable, the professional intervention program, on a dependent variable, the promotion of a culture of environmental sustainability among secondary school students. The study was applied to a sample of (40) individuals.

The results of the study proved the acceptance of the main hypothesis of the study, which is that there is a statistically significant relationship at the level (0.01) between the professional intervention program using the community organization method and promoting the culture of environmental sustainability in its dimensions (knowledge and awareness, environmental participation, environmental cooperation, continuous environmental improvement) among public secondary school students.
