  Today's environmental problems are harming nature and human life quality, putting the future of humanity at risk. This reality shows the importance of public policies to ensure that environmental education is present in schools. Therefore, this work aims to describe environmental education practices in chemistry teaching in basic education schools, through a bibliographic review. Firstly, a search was conducted for academic articles on the theme "environmental education in chemistry teaching", with the period of analysis defined as 2000 to 2022. Subsequently, a search was carried out for Brazilian legislation documents related to environmental education. After reading the abstracts, 11 articles were chosen for textual analysis. The importance of including environmental education in chemistry teaching was observed as an instrument to work on environmental preservation and reduce the consequences of human actions on the environment through practices contextualized in the classroom, highlighting the school institution as a suitable space for the integral training of the individual from the perspectives of environmental education.
