Abstract: Energy is the fundamental material of human survival and production,and development of high-quality energy and new energy are indispensible parts of social development and progress. As China becomes one of the world's top-two largest economies,its demand for energy is growing. In view of status quo of China's energy distribution and consumption,and based on the considerations of energy security and new energy competition,we must carry out energy education under the concept of ecological civilization. Energy education should be people-oriented,comprehensive and lifelong,attaching importance to the combination of the whole and the part,actively exploring effective energy education paths under the guidance of the ecological civilization. We should combine community education,social education,with school education,so that energy education would be a leading element of social values,and the public's ideas and behavior habits about energy consumption could be promoted.

Key words: energy education, energy consumption, environmental protection, ecological civilization, energy security
