Abstract

While the publications of the IPCC and the Global Compact have challenged certain researchers and academics with regard to their responsibilities as teachers on the issue of climate change, the covid pandemic has highlighted the degeneration of each person's relationship with others. It is because this evolution has an impact on the forms and modes of consumption and production strategies in all productive organisations, whatever their activity, that it seems necessary to highlight in teaching the existing links between the relationship with others, the production system and its environmental effects. This has led us to suggest, in the perspective of an educational transition, lines of thought of a systemic nature concerning a renewal of the training courses offered in the universities.
