Abstract

It’s necessary to rethink the values of the human society to recognize the ‘’Homeland’’ proposed by Edgar Morin, called sustainable development, by the language of the United Nations. This marks a trend toward policies of higher education, the behavior of the generation of knowledge and information through publications and policy statements of public universities is useful to identify national actions for this trend. In this investigation interest was identified in publications of indexed articles and institutional publication on the subject. In Honduras, educational model documents includes at levels of macrostructure and mesostructure elements that show attempts to integrate dimensions of sustainable development such as social and environmental dimension. The national efforts are being completed with the support of movements in the Central American region, such as the mainstreaming of the curriculum with the themes of climate change and risk management.
