ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Abstract

Environmental protection is a serious challenge for humanity because environmental problems are serious. Namely, climate change, pollution of all ecosystems water, soil and air, technical-technological development with negative implications, as well as many other problems have a negative impact on a healthy human environment. Pollution endangers man, but also flora and fauna. Natural disasters such as fires, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc. also affect the additional deterioration of the situation. Hence, it is very important that the programs of higher education institutions deal with the matter of environmental protection. At that wye we will educate young people and increase their awareness of the importance of a healthy human environment. Thus, we will create conditions for decision-making in the direction of sustainable development and caring for both current and future generations. The author of the paper makes a detailed analysis of the content of the university programs and the contents related to the protection of the environment.
