Education for sustainable development at universities in the Republic of Croatia
Sustainable development has become a leading paradigm in the late 20th century when it became obvious that economic growth has a negative impact on the natural balance and social events, although its declared objective is the development of economy and society. The most frequently quoted definition is the one used by the World Commission on Environment and Development - WCED) as reported in 1987 in ‘’Our Common Future’’, also known as the ‘’Brundtland Report’’, according to which ‘’Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ‘’The European Union has been supporting sustainable development for several decades already, and the new Europe 2020 strategy is the one for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of all member states of the European Union. From the above it is evident how much importance the European Union attaches solely to sustainable development. Given the importance of sustainable development, it is becoming a subject of study at all levels of education is extremely significant, especially at the tertiary level. The subject of this paper is to examine the curricula of universities in the Republic of Croatia with the aim of analyzing the extent to which sustainable development is being studied and whether there are existing comprehensive interdisciplinary programs dealing with this issue.
