Abstract

Sustainable development and education are linked into a holistic and complex system that might help to transform the society by imposing the sustainable development goals and objectives. Moreover, it might contribute to the creation of the new type of global citizens who would act at regional and global levels with a focus on preserving the environment and promoting the sustainability agenda. Global civic education has been supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international organizations as a means of promoting international development but the results might vary across regions and countries. We show that all of the above leads to a global approach to the development of the education system, not only for students but for society as a whole. The results of our research are likely to feed into the development of the initiatives which develop environmentally friendly attitude and promote community environmental management by creating participatory networks for the nature restoration and protection

Highlights

  • Sustainable development became a mantra for the 21st century that is repeated in mass media and in the public discussions

  • The research shows how periods of abrupt environmental change can bring coastal communities together, creating opportunities to play a more active role in managing their natural resources [6]. This might provide new insights into the role of social ecology in various ecosystems and offer new insights that are important for the sustainability of decisions on the management of natural resources [7]

  • American hegemony is reflected in the dominance of the Internet: 85% of all websites are in the United States, and American companies control more than 80% of software sales and more than 90% of the world wide web (WWW) [16]

Summary

Introduction

Sustainable development became a mantra for the 21st century that is repeated in mass media and in the public discussions. In this paper we propose to draw on the work of ecosystem scientists to develop a framework that considers environmental and sustainable education as part of an ongoing social-ecological process that includes and promotes a positive feedback loop between environmental responsibility and social-ecological processes and has regional and global implications This view has practical implications; for example, such views may indicate that environmental and educational programs help reinforce positive feedback loops represented by existing administrations and community practices, rather than acting independently of the surrounding social and environmental systems. Students can develop their worldview by exploring concepts of diversity, social justice and consumerism in relation to the promotion and maintenance of health and well-being [9]. Pupils and students might have the opportunity to develop links with the environment and understand the interrelations between health, human beings and the environment [10]
