COLLADO-RUANO, Javier. Education and Sustainable Development: The Creativity of Nature for Innovation in Human Education. educ.educ. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.2, pp.229-248. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2017.20.2.4.

The article reflects on the challenges that exist in terms of human education to comply with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDS). Education and sustainable development are the thematic pivotal point that guide the epistemological shape of the study, which is framed by the philosophy of education. The work combines the transdisciplinary methodology, the theoretical framework of great history and the biomimesis principle with the primary objective of strengthening the ties between education and sustainability. As a result of the discussion, the research shows different co-evolutionary strategies that ecosystems develop in nature, so as to implement them in teaching practice. Sustainable development implies human training aimed at respecting the biophysical limits established by natural ecosystems. The main conclusion points to the need to adopt new biomimetic and transdisciplinary approaches in human education to solve the challenges of planetary unsustainability caused by the ecological and social footprint of man at the dawn of the 21st century.
