Abstract

Recently there have been new theoretical proposals with a territorial and cultural focus and without qualifying development. What we mean by this is that it is not the market that has to be supported, nor production, nor the economy; what has to be sustainable and long-lasting is the duration of life. The world view of one of the most important currents in Latin America consists of this: the holistic and constructivist vision of the New Paradigm Network (Souza, Victorino 2010).

The objective of this article is to make a synthesis of the evolution of theories about environmental education, territory, interculturality and development, through a review of documents, starting from the most traditional theories such as environmental education to preserve even the most recent, on environmental education for sustainability, which includes ingredients such as integral endogenous development and for 'the good life', from the Latin American perspective to build a political and educational proposal based on environmental education for sustainability in higher education, in the intercultural context with a territorial focus.
