Sustainable production and consumption in basic education: analyses between the 2030 Agenda and the National Common Curricular Base

Abstract

This article aims to problematize the way in which the ideas of responsible consumption and production are addressed by the National Common Curricular Base (known as “BNCC” in Brazil), based on the 2030 Agenda. The present work, which constitutes a qualitative bibliographic case study, was supported by the reading and interpretation of texts and documents chosen from the hermeneutic perspective. Knowing the demands of the 2030 Agenda and identifying them in the National Common Curricular Base is essential in order to be able to project what the role of education should be, in relation to environmental and sustainability issues. The study made it possible to understand that, by signing a global pact for the construction of a sustainable and resilient world, Brazil has committed itself, from the Curricular Base, to making human formation effective considering this unavoidable environmental need.
