Sustainable Development

14.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

The Soil Ecosystem02:23

The Soil Ecosystem

23.6K
Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

42.2K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

What is Climate?

19.5K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Environmental Studies
  • Philosophy

Background:

  • The Covid-19 crisis highlights the need for new educational approaches.
  • Current curricula often prioritize instrumental and technical solutions over adaptability.
  • There's a growing recognition of the interconnectedness between human well-being and planetary health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a paradigm shift in curriculum development.
  • To explore how educational responses can address global crises like Covid-19.
  • To promote an expanded ethics of care for both humans and non-human entities.

Main Methods:

  • Engaging in a dialogue between diverse cosmoecological alliances and onto-epistemological practices.
  • Analyzing the relationship between curriculum, subjectivity, and planetary interdependence.
  • Developing a theoretical framework for reimagining educational responsibilities.

Main Results:

  • Repositioning curriculum and responsibility as acts of caring for the Earth is essential.
  • Expanding the ethics of care to include other-than-humans is crucial for planetary well-being.
  • Challenging the economization of life within educational frameworks is necessary.

Conclusions:

  • Curriculum must be reimagined to foster critical thinking and adaptability in uncertain times.
  • An ethics of care for the Earth and all its inhabitants should guide educational practices.
  • This approach serves as a "vaccine" against an overly economized and narrow view of life and learning.
