Abstract

We are currently in a changing world due to climate change, which requires that the use of resources, including energy, essential for human development, must be sustainable over time. Therefore, it is essential to understand people's energy consumption. This article analyzes a concept of environmental education that can help us understand the complex relationship between human behavior and the use of energy: energy literacy. Here is the first approach to this concept that evaluates where it arises and how it could serve us in the future using the case of energy consumption in Panama.
