Abstract
This article provides an overview and discussion of the relative importance of various categories of significant influences and formative life experiences on the development of environmental educators’ knowledge of and concern for the environment. A previous article in this journal (Palmer & Suggate, 1996) presents relevant findings deriving from the UK and analyses the ways in which the importance of influences may change through time or be affected by the subject's age. Here, the team of international authors presents data from three European countries and engages in both location‐specific and cross‐cultural comparative analysis.
