Abstract :

Rapid economic growth and globalisation have positive and also negative impacts on environmental aspects and people’s lives. And, people live in conditions of extreme change. This raises new requirements for living for every individual. In the current era of globalization it is necessary to stop the destructive processes of globalization, to create a different vision of globalization based on the principles of sustainable development, taking into account not only economic indicators but also social and ecological coherence. Sustainable development is a complex process that aims to ensure the well-being for present and future generations. However, the emerging economic and environmental challenges make this process more difficult. Sustainable development issues still lack a deeper focus from the scientific community. On the other hand, it is important that these issues be addressed on a practical level in different communities. It is obvious that community development and sustainable development are two interrelated phenomena. The role of the education system in this area is unquestionable.
