Abstract

The article deals with topical issues of interaction between human and natural systems and the role of education in these processes Attention is focused on the fact that the further development of society oriented only increase production capacity and meet its consumers’ interests, does not meet the laws of nature and leads to the destruction of humanity. This is due to the fact that the pressure of human society on the environment is growing, and the capacity of natural ecosystems is limited. It is shown that the basis of the nature-consuming philosophy of mankind must be changed to a new ecological and economic worldview, in which social development must acquire a humanistic and ecological orientation. Natural resources in such a scheme should be viewed not only as a means of development of productive forces, but also as a factor in the environment in which mankind lives. The main role in the implementation of goals of sustainable development in a given area of the modern urban world is given to changing the paradigm of the educational process, its reorientation from the mechanical transfer of knowledge to the formation of professional competencies, innovation and humanistic worldview.
