Sustainable Development Seen from Environmental Training in University Linkage

Abstract

The environmental complexity arises in the world as an effect of the forms of knowledge, but it is not only a relation of knowledge. This concept emerges from the world interpreted by science as an objective, fragmented and specialized knowledge. Therefore, complexity and systems theory arise at the same time as the environmental crisis is manifested. The research work starts from an idea linked to the formation of current and future generations to achieve sustainability from the direct link of educational centers with society, an experience that is addressed from the university, as a sure way to influence the achievement of sustainable development. It offers a developing vision of the role that the student and the university institution should play in terms of sustainability inspired by a logical model of community bonding, where students figure as central actors in the action process, learning and serving the same community time that they demand from others what they can and should do in the interests of sustainable development.
