This research presents itself as an exploratory study, using as a selection technique the bibliographic survey among the works published in the annals of the National Meeting of Teachers Graduations (ENALIC), in the period from 2010 to 2018, assuming the qualitative paradigm for the analysis of the collected data. The research objective assumed by the researchers was the challenge of listing, among the total of these works, those who discussed the environmental theme in Brazilian undergraduate courses. The research event has proved to be powerful as a research environment, as it gathers research developed in undergraduate courses and, therefore, through the analysis of published works, it allows us to map the Brazilian scenario of the insertion of environmental themes in undergraduate courses. Understanding that possible weaknesses in the study of this theme at the time of initial training could be worked on in continuing education, a second screen was adopted by the researchers when selecting the works that dealt with the environmental theme of the graduate of the degree, already in the school environment. As a result, it was observed that the environmental theme was not highlighted in ENALIC. Additionally, it was possible to conclude that the number of researches that link the environmental theme to continuing teacher education actions is even smaller, a fact that ignites the alert to municipal, state and federal authorities for the need to invest in public policies that manage to make real the pedagogical practices intended in the environmental and educational legislation, either by discussing the curriculum of teachers graduations or by investing in continuing education courses for teachers.
