Developing individual and organizational environ-mental competence

Abstract

Developing environmental competence is an important challenge in order to achieve the higher level of sustainable development. Environmental competence of individuals and organizations shall be harmonized because the global problems of the world are common. I built up a comprehensive model that allows evaluating and establishing development actions for environmental consciousness. Our task is describing and modelling competences in general. Environmental competence gives only one area of our research work. The paper summarizes some presumptions, theoretical and empirical background of my work. Environmental knowledge and attitudes are highlighted because these factors have elementary importance. My diagnosis is distressing; the results show that there is a huge lack in the knowledge of adults. This research was carried out as part of the TAMOP-4.2.1.B-10/2/KONV-2010-0001 project with support by the European Union, cofinanced by the European Social Fund.У статті наводяться дослідження розвитку індивідуальних і організаційних екологічних компетенцій.
