Educação ambiental na formação do empreendedor sustentável

Abstract

Social and economic changes are fostering a significant increase in interest in entrepreneurship as a way to launch new businesses and form a class of entrepreneurs with a diversified and strategic vision of the market. The main objective of this study is to show the importance of education for sustainable business growth. The purpose of this study is to analyze the narrative literature to examine the role that environmental education has played in the growth of entrepreneurship. There must be a significant balance between the three primary dimensions of sustainable development - economic, social and environmental. A sustainable entrepreneur must identify a need in the form of a social or environmental cause or concern, but it is crucial to emphasize that this is only the first step. Business owners must also decide how to meet a need or how to create social and environmental value based on economic value. As a result, sustainable entrepreneurship is defined as the creation of goods and services that address social and environmental issues while generating financial gain. The goals achieved through entrepreneurship education must be aligned with the proposal of environmental education, seeking as a consequence a leveling of the economy, society, and the environment to help reduce social inequalities. In conclusion, environmental education in the development of a sustainable entrepreneur is a promising step towards a more balanced and resilient future. Integrating environmental and business knowledge with an innovative and creative approach allows entrepreneurs to act as agents of change, promoting sustainable development and assisting in the creation of societies.
