FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL HIGHER EDUCATION

Based on an in-depth analysis of global environmental problems, the world's leading ecologists argue that no scientific and technological innovations or ecological and social reforms can ensure sustainable, environmentally balanced development of humanity. The successful solution of complex environmental problems requires a transition to a new ideology of life, ecologization of the economy and production, and the creation of a pro-environmental civilization. A vital role in this process is the formation of high ecological culture and the expansion of environmental education in the context of sustainable development. Furthermore, the thinking of specialists in different professions should become more ecological, so today, the environmental imperative and paradigm should become the guiding principle in training specialists in all spheres of activity. This article aims to analyze the possible prospects for further development of pro-environmental higher education. While writing this article, analytical methods were used to study scientific literature on the development of pro-environmental higher education. In addition, an online survey of the academic staff of higher education institutions was applied to find out practical aspects of the problem ecologization of higher education. The results of the study identified the problems and further promising directions for higher education's ecologization.
