This article presents a literature review on sustainability in the field of education. The study method used was an exploratory literature review in the most internationally recognized databases, such as: scopus and the web of science. The sample inclusion criterion was to analyze theoretical and conceptual models that use constructs of environmental sustainability in the field of education and statistically tested by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in the last four/five years. This involved a narrative and critical review, in order to find research gaps and boundary variables that could help to grow scientific knowledge. The main findings of the literature report how a causal relationship is explained, and strengthened through exogenous variables (independent variables), either with direct effects, or indirect effects (mediation, or moderation).
