The article presents an analysis of the level of environmental competence of biology teachers in the North Kazakhstan region. The relevance of the research is due to the need to form the environmental competence of teachers in order to achieve sustainable development of society and the economy in education and the transfer of environmental knowledge. The method used was a sociological survey using an Internet resource on the Google platform. As a result of the study, data were obtained that most teachers need to improve their knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of ecology, since this integrative indicator characterizing teachers is considered as a separate component of their professional activity. In turn, it influences the transfer of acquired environmental competencies to students through the implementation of educational activities during biology training. Environmental education should become a universal part of education, first of all, so that every teacher has environmental competence in the face of growing demand for natural resources, taking into account the careful attitude and transfer of clean air, genetic biodiversity and soil fertility to future generations.
