APPROACHES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN EDUCATION AND INNOVATION

Appearing in the global ecological crisis from 1929 to 1933, the concept of sustainable development was further developed by incorporating all economic, social and human spheres, and today it may represent the only way for humanity to survive. If at first Sustainable Development was thought of as a solution to the ecological crisis caused by the intense industrial exploitation of resources and the continuous degradation of the environment, it subsequently sought to preserve the qualities of the environment, promoting the concept of reconciling economic and social progress without putting threatens the natural balance of the planet. On the other hand, education and innovation improve the living and working conditions of Europeans, improve Europe's competitiveness, stimulate economic growth and create jobs, according to a publication by the European Commission. Our research aims to highlight the main features of sustainable development from the perspective of research and innovation, knowing that any education and innovation implicitly implies a number of risks that are often assumed tacitly. Following findings that have confirmed the absence of sufficient studies to confirm or rule out the risk assumptions, we have issued a series of recommendations and conclusions that allow, at least on a theoretical basis, a prudent approach to education and innovation in sustainable development.
