Synopsis

The book describes different approaches to address ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) from the Environmental Education that has been practiced in recent decades. In this change of perspective, it is fundamental to consider the role of the SDGs. The theoretical analysis leads to a proposed model on sustainability management from universities that is based on the green home strategy. This proposal is applied in the university both at the management level and at the training level. The management model of universities is based on the understanding of sustainability management in organizations, the recognition of ethical values for human actions, respect for culture, human rights, and awareness of current issues, together with the recognition of heterarchy as an organizational system, among other elements. Moreover, this model has the SDGs as an articulating core, as an institutional challenge. And it was proposed through the dialogue of knowledge, which was established between four Colombian universities: Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD), Universidad del Rosario, Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (UDFJC), and Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia (UCC).
