The present work aims to analyze federal official documents that deal with Environmental Education (EE) in order to identify convergences and divergences existing in the duality of origin of these texts, since some of them are result of definitions given by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and others are created, decided and implemented by the Ministry of Environment (MMA) through the federal government. Therefore, the work is based under the emancipation potentiality inscribed in the contemporary capitalist social reality. A qualitative approach was adopted, so that the elements of the research were understood in their complexity. The methodological treatment consisted, therefore, in the following main steps: 1) search and organization of the official material according to the proposed objectives; 2) initial and exploratory reading of the material; 3) documentary analysis with elements from the perspective of content analysis, guided by the assumptions of the Critical Environmental Education. The data collected were examined in their content, and from them emerged the following categories of analysis: approach, concepts, objectives, principles and procedures for the realization of EE. We seek to establish throughout a political position on environmentalism, which is defined in a critical and emancipatory perspective, also aligned with the ideals of political ecology and environmental justice, occupied by the human individual who uses natural resources and who manages conflicts arising from this dispute in the political field. Among other findings, we identified that there are divergences between the concepts and approach in the contents of National Orientations for Highschool (OCEM) in relation to the content of ProNEA 2014 (National Program of Environmental Education), indicating that Ministry of Education and MMA adopt EE concepts considered disparate, and MMA has turned to a conservative perspective, notable in the latest version of ProNEA. We materialize the fluidity of the EE concept in the different documents, which is often used to defend a capitalist productive logic that is unsustainable in its conception. Although the official documents present difficulties of execution on the part of the Brazilian state, the existence of a wide network of public policies in EE, we believe, enables and stimulates, to the educator, the collaborators of public and private institutions, as well as the environmental groups to think about the possibility of a social process that leads us to a more just society from an environmental perspective, also reflecting the broadening of the world view of these same actors. There is a need for greater sharing of actions between the Ministry of Education and the MMA in order to establish more organic and pedagogical relations of mobilization of Environmental Education fronts at the federal level, since the lines of action between these bodies are now partially compatible as we have shown in our analysis.
