Education is the essential way to transform human’s soul, and it can help the public foster the idea of respecting nature, coexisting with nature and protecting nature. And geography education palys the roles of base and pillar in the popularization of sustainable development, which will help promote human’s awareness of ecological civilization.Based on the data obtained from the literature survey, this paper employs a research on the main advantages and problems of ecological civilization education in geography teaching of middle school, and proposes the corresponding measures and suggestions. According to the findings, the main advantages are as followed:(1) the study object of geography education includes the relationship between man and nature, which is consistent with the purpose of ecological civilization education; (2) geography curriculum emphasizes the environmental awareness and the concept of sustainable development, and the coexistence of human and nature is the core of curriculum; (3) the design of geography curriculum has always permeated the concept of scientific development, including obeying the laws of nature, achieving the harmonious development of man and nature, taking the road of regional sustainable development.
