Aim. The aim of this study is to structure the problem areas of pedagogical adaptation of the content of the concept of sustainable development into the practice of Russian higher education. Methods. Analysis, synthesis and generalization of some relevant works, including foreign ones, in this field were used as research methods, as well as the results of many years of professional pedagogical activity of the authors (pedagogical observation, peer review, pedagogical interpretation). Results. The findings of the research are the identification of the problem areas for overcoming the difficulties of pedagogical adaptation of the principles of education for sustainable development in the practice of the Russian higher school. Conclusions. The findings of the study include the problems of pedagogical adaptation of content and methods of effective education for sustainable development, such as: 1) the inconsistency of the content tendencies of higher education in relation to objective needs of the society and politics that contradict sustainable development as a whole; 2) the problem of insufficient methodological support to develop critical thinking in students in the process of environmental education, as well as the pedagogical problem of the formation of students' reflexive experience; 3) the problem of "locality" and "targeting" of the content and methods of education for sustainable development; 4) the problem of developing inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches for the education for sustainable development; 5) the problem of pedagogical adaptation of the axiological foundations of education for sustainable development.

Nowadays, humanity is increasingly focusing on the principles of sustainable development, which are becoming more and more important, and universities are acting as agents to promote these principles in society. Many universities are doing important work regarding environmental issues, but also social and economic issues, thus including the three dimensions of sustainability. This article highlights important concepts related to sustainable development, compares and contrasts the definitions of education for sustainable development versus environmental education. The aim of this study is to examine the need to create a universal tool for assessing sustainability and to incorporate it into the classification system of universities. Finally, it can be said that higher education institutions need to make more strenuous efforts to improve their performance in relation to the variables of environment, infrastructure, transport and education.

The aim of the study is to study approaches to localization of the topic of SDG in higher education in Russia and some tracks for implementation of environmental education for sustainable development (EESD). The objectives were: to formulate a goal setting for each of the approaches; to develop a methodology for the introduction of the SDG ideology into EESD; to implement the personal and collective role of research team members in working on the project; to create effective collaborations and introduce an interdisciplinary approach; to be able to present the results obtained in a visual and analytical form; to expand the professional outlook of environmentalists, to form a worldview based on the development of competencies for sustainable development. The research methodology in formal education was based on the hypothesis that modern environmental education should be based on the triad of SDG clusters, and all didactic units of university programs should be filled with this ideology. The information approach was implemented through the introduction of project laboratory technologies, case studies and youth models. Strategically, the higher education institutions participating in the experiment developed a methodology for tracking higher education for sustainable development and introduced methods for working with the subjects of SDG.

The environmental component of education determines the socio-economic foundations of society and is the basic component of the state environmental policy. The nature of interaction with the environment at the personal level and society makes it possible to implement the concept of sustainable development, and therefore the assessment of the current state of higher environmental education in Ukraine is an urgent problem. The purpose of article is to analyze the formation and current state of higher environmental education in Ukraine, which is the central link in the system of continuous environmental education. An important step in the development of the system of continuous environmental education, in particular higher environmental education, was the development of the Concept of Environmental Education of Ukraine (2001), the principles of which were not properly implemented. The content of higher environmental education is reflected in four generations of standards for higher environmental education in Ukraine, which took into account changes in the relevant regulatory and legislative documents and requirements for the content and results of educational activities of higher educational institutions within certain areas of training and specialties. The article describes the structure and content of standards of higher environmental education in Ukraine. Despite the fact that the environmental component currently prevails in the form of education that most consider education for sustainable development, yet this is only the beginning of the formation of a new system-integrated model of education for sustainable development. The importance of greening and ideas of sustainable development is reflected in the current standards of higher education in Ukraine for applicants for higher education "bachelor" of all specialties. But the environmental component is still absent in the educational programs and curricula of many specialties of "non-environmental" higher education institutions, is not due attention is paid to the greening of higher education in Ukraine. Some provisions of the existing Concept of Environmental Education of Ukraine are no longer relevant, which leads to the development of a modern Concept, and, perhaps, a separate Concept of higher environmental education in Ukraine. In recent years, there has been a decline in state interest in the training of environmentalists, so it is advisable to develop measures to improve the training of applicants for higher environmental education.

Purpose In education concerning environmental issues, there are two predominant currents in the world, environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD). ESD is the formal commitment and therefore promoted by the United Nations, to ensure that countries achieve sustainable development. In contrast, EE was the first educational trend with an environmental protection approach. The purpose of this systematic review that seeks to show whether the migration from EE to ESD is being effective and welcomed by researchers and especially by universities is presented. With the above, a global panorama can be provided, where the regions that choose each model can be identified. In the same sense, it was sought to determine which of the two currents is more accepted within engineering education. Design/methodology/approach The review followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes parameters for systematic reviews. In total, 198 papers indexed in Scopus, Science Direct, ERIC and Scielo were analyzed. With the results, the advancement of ESD and the state of the EE by regions in the world were identified. Findings It was possible to categorize the geographical regions that host either of the two EE or ESD currents. It is important to note that ESD has gained more strength from the decade of ESD proposed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. For its part, EE has greater historical roots in some regions of the planet. In turn, there is evidence of a limited number of publications on the design and revision of study plans in engineering. Originality/value Through this systematic literature review, the regions of the world that are clinging to EE and those that have taken the path of ESD could be distinguished. Moreover, specific cases in engineering where ESD has been involved were noted.
