Introduction
Aware of the environmental and economic problems, Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, presents the Environmental Programme for the Sustainable Development of the University based on their experiences to propose a corporate strategy on environmental issues, focusing on personal development of values, changing attitudes and participation of our community-action in relation to the environment.
These skills must attend the formation of an institutional ethos, partner, thoughtful and instituted with a deep environmental culture, reflected in the satisfaction of the needs and requirements of our university community and especially in the whole society.
To achieve the training and participation of our human resources in solving environmental problems has adopted the Environmental Action Plan for Higher Education Institutions, proposed by the National Association of Universities and Institutions of Higher Education (ANUIES) and the Ministery on Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) in order to promote and strengthen the national university sector contribution within the harmonic and sustainable human development and the promotion of a new relationship between humanity and the environment.
One of the main challenges of the Institutions of Higher Education in globalization towards sustainable development must be tackled with the creation of a viable proposal, based on institutional contributions to scientific and technological level to build a strong environmental culture through mobilization, participation and development of skills and abilities of people-students, teachers, authorities, unions and other organizations of the university-as well as enhance existing databases and identify materials needed in the immediate future, in order to establish institutional congruence in relation to the Environmental Plan Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco.
Another of the main challenges that globalization will apply knowledge for the potential solution of environmental problems, social and political, which go beyond the policies of a particular nation and its borders.
The mission of the Plan will then profiles through our symbols and institutional values, observation and surveillance of our activities related to social and environmental issues, environmental training and supportive of the university for resource conservation, energy saving among others, in order to achieve equitable and sustainable human development in our community at all levels, those currencies precisely justify the philosophy and description of our program as “Juchiman, green and gold”.
Finally, we intend to strengthen the development of all academic areas of our House of Studies, in order to meet the demands of professionalism, improvement, protection, conservation and wise use of environmental resources for our sustainable institutional development.
Presentation
The change in higher education institutions (HEIs) in the current era is a demand from different positions and points of view has been encouraging. One edge that promotes the change comes from the environmental movement, which are worldwide efforts to build a development that does not degrade the bases of support.
Sustainable development is set in the contemporary world as a movement that is oriented in this sense is why the IES to the pressures of environmental change on societies and sustainable development guidelines, are faced with an unavoidable transformation deep, to become one of the pillars that contribute significantly to socio-environmental change.
From this perspective it is envisaged that its main mission should be to place themselves on the side of the forces fighting for the survival of the human species and its planetary environment.
This ethical principle requires the university to a major overhaul, not just their educational tasks of teaching, research and dissemination, but his performance in the political, economic and cultural development.
The HEIs as the Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco, should carry out an upgrade and conversion to be to pass the entire structure, its essence and its shares through the sieve of sustainable development in order to offer society, highly qualified professionals in critical environmental areas, but also with a higher consciousness and commitments to environmental causes, which enable it to provide for their performance and reduce the environmental impacts of their own professional practices in which it participates, must likewise investigate and offer solutions to complex environmental problems both locally and nationally we are facing in the country, and should be a stronghold in the dissemination and promotion of an environmental culture for the whole of society.
An important step to promote environmental change in the HEIs has been the adoption of the Plan of Action for Sustainable Development in Higher Education Institutions (ANUIES, 2000) which seeks to promote organic participation of these institutions to the analysis, solution and prevention of environmental problems and the construction of future scenarios of the state of environment and development through strategic research activities, teaching, dissemination and extension.
Among the points of agreement in developing the Action Plan highlights the commitment of the deans and directors to incorporate the proposals of the plan to institutions of higher education, in keeping with its mission, vision, profile and institutional priorities, which is why , that in order to boost this commitment was offered environmental training course and aimed to promote skills, which enabled participants to design and manage the respective institutional educational plans, in order to promote the HEIs could respond locally and regionally, the challenges that demand strong environmental concerns.
Before the start of a new century and new millennium, the use of natural resources has been making a rapid and disorderly manner which has led to the depletion of many of them irreversible scarcity and degradation of others.
This situation has prompted the need for a global approach aimed at substantiating the importance of preserving resources and their planning and management in a sustainable manner.
During the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro and became known as Earth Summit, we analyzed the situation of the planet's natural resources and the consequences of its alarming deterioration due to anthropogenic activities. For the correction of the losses was highlighted, the leaders of more than one hundred countries worldwide have established a series of measures that are contained in documents of the Conference. Among them stands out for its importance for the management of resources Agenda XXI, a document that purports to be the basis for the consolidation of a new way of acting with the environment.
The environmental problem whose dimensions claimed an unprecedented expression during the second half of the twentieth century is closely linked with social, demographic, economic and cultural, historically overdetermined.
These links are in programs and poorly planned development patterns in the transformation of natural systems, unbalanced demographic processes of growth, migration and urban concentration and uneven and inequitable conditions of existence, to name some of the consequences that significantly impact the quality of life of people and making up the various crises in which depletion occurs still in force in Western civilization project.
In this context, the scientific and technological concepts to feed the myth of unlimited material progress, show their ethical boundaries and geopolitical commitments and contribute fundamentally to the increase of the processes of global environmental destruction.
This situation is also articulated in a contradictory manner to complex processes of globalization - and thus subordination - economic and political, to an increasing ethnic fragmentation, as well as strong tendencies of ethnic homogeneity and cultural, under the political and hegemonic ideologies promoted industrialized countries, international financial agencies, large industrial corporations and transnational communication and sectors with strong political and economic interests within those countries that undertake development opportunities sovereign and independent of the latter.
The Latin American and Caribbean Nations do not escape this situation, but represent a strategic region in these processes. Moreover, there is the belief that these trends will be even more pronounced, particularly in Mexico, before the advance of globalization processes in economic integration, particularly trade agreements with North America and other Latin American countries, as well as participation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
In light of these brief remarks, transform the current profile of environmental issues requires new development prospects, tend to find a balance between the maintenance of complex life cycles and flows of nature, without having to forego the benefits of technology to help increase levels of well-being of the vast majority of the population.
It is against this background that environmental education becomes relevant as a space that aims to generate guidelines for knowledge and action around environmental issues and development.
Guidelines involving: the development of alternative training of qualified technically and professionally to act on specific environmental problems and arrive at new technological developments, the institutional strengthening and public awareness processes to induce a responsible and informed participation, the pipeline Impulse-a community organization in a position to generate new consensus and expressions of social practice, to influence collective decision-making processes regarding environmental management and the enrichment of school educational processes at different levels and modalities, not only with knowledge and skills development, but mainly in the formation and consolidation of new values and behavioral patterns that constitute the political commitments of subsequent pregnancy, among many others of their profits in the short, medium and long term.
Environmental Education in UJAT
In Tabasco processing and natural resource degradation and displacement of traditional activities, it had become apparent in the oil industry to move forward in every way and additionally accounted for other sectors such as agriculture, especially livestock, and concomitant with them government policies instructed development approaches and programs that did not include aspects of conservation, prevention and management, and improving the environment, although important proposals were made but were never considered in a scientific academic development in the long term.
This environmental issue in the state and the inclusion in conjunction with proven results and the global, national and regional environmental education programs for the conservation and preservation of the environment led to the need in our alma mater for inclusion in university curricula mainly in the career of biology that was taught in the Academic Division of Biological Sciences.
Therefore, since 1993, as part of then-institutional academic development program was undertaken the task of restructuring plans and programs of study in Biology, and created two new degrees, a scientific, but with a focus on come sustainable development, ecology, and a demonstrated technical, environmental engineering, applied equally in demand for vocational training provision.
University actions to promote environmental culture
The Plan of Studies Degree in Ecology was included in the 9th semester the course of environmental education in which students devote their concerns and personal efforts to actively integrate the academic exercise of this discipline. For example, the organization of the Environmental Education Week in several events for more than five consecutive years. Other Outreach and Extension activities have been generated through projects University Botanic Garden José N. Rovirosa Rovirosa and scientific research in environmental education. This has led to the development and strengthening academic programs in environmental education.
Table 1 lists the activities the Universidad Juarez Autonoma de Tabasco being made, supported by the authorities, the state government and civil societies of our own institution as well as other NGOs.
Many of the actions referred to above, have been part of research projects, educational projects on sustainable development, so its current and future importance in the institutional environmental program, environmental education is one of the main actions to be developed in academic the lines of generation and application of knowledge.
Teachers, researchers doing environmental education they have had to play the role of environmental educators in a society that demands this type of educational intervention. Some of them have taken courses and postgraduate masters and doctoral level to help in training students to pursue careers as professional practice skills they have demand and skills in implementing environmental education programs.
