A UNIVERSIDADE DO SÉCULO XXI RUMO AO DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL

Abstract

The human activities on the environment are intensifying along the time and in a more  accentuated way starting from the Industrial Revolution, in the end of the XIX century, resulting in poverty, social and economic exclusion, consumerism, waste and  environmental degradation. The university is the privileged place for an education driven to the demands of our time. It is attributed to it the responsability of educating for the maintainable development, as its students directly or for influence of its managers and other key agents implied in the process.
