Societies around the world today face a major challenge: rethinking their development model to lay the foundations for a more sustainable, positive, and equitable future. This challenge requires an interdisciplinary approach, interlinkages between different research fields, a shared commitment to scientific and educational potential, and deeper collaboration with the environment. Sustainable Development (SD) studies respond to this challenge.
The guiding idea of education in the field of Sustainable Development (hereinafter: SD) is interdisciplinary. This reflects the educational process's organization based on a harmonious involvement under the chairmanship and involvement of the University Center for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development (UCBS) of eight units of the University of Warsaw.
