Abstract

The change in the use of natural resources on our planet is a most urgent topic to be addressed in the environmental agendas of all governments and discussed by civil society and the academic community. As consequence of this period known as Anthropocene, global warming is one of the most critical issues on the environmental agenda in the 21st century as it affects biogeochemical cycles and planetary biodiversity. In terms of sustainability, higher education can introduce new trends in the domains of education, research, and extension. However, understanding the Environmental Agenda requires a more careful analysis of information, stakeholder dynamics, public management and conflict of interest. How to counter desinformation about environmental education in HEIs? This qualitative research based on the Federal Network of Professional Scientific and Technological Teaching (RFEPCT) seeks, through the proposal of a digital platform, to present a means of greening education.
