Introduction: Environmental education, culture of sustainability and climate emergency.

Abstract

The climate emergency is one of the main exponents of the socio-environmental crises that we have suffered since the Industrial Revolution. Such emergency place us before a new era characterized as the anthropocene or capitalocene, whose scientific evidence includes the exponential increase in the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from the fifties of the last century to the present. Faced with this exceptional situation, the culture of sustainability is offered as an essential piece for the achievement of environmentally sustainable human development, in interaction with a wide and diversified range of social, ethical, territorial and technological elements to which educational research should pay priority attention.
