Abstract

The aim of the study is to study approaches to localization of the topic of SDG in higher education in Russia and some tracks for implementation of environmental education for sustainable development (EESD). The objectives were: to formulate a goal setting for each of the approaches; to develop a methodology for the introduction of the SDG ideology into EESD; to implement the personal and collective role of research team members in working on the project; to create effective collaborations and introduce an interdisciplinary approach; to be able to present the results obtained in a visual and analytical form; to expand the professional outlook of environmentalists, to form a worldview based on the development of competencies for sustainable development. The research methodology in formal education was based on the hypothesis that modern environmental education should be based on the triad of SDG clusters, and all didactic units of university programs should be filled with this ideology. The information approach was implemented through the introduction of project laboratory technologies, case studies and youth models. Strategically, the higher education institutions participating in the experiment developed a methodology for tracking higher education for sustainable development and introduced methods for working with the subjects of SDG.
