Abstract

This paper reflects on Education for World Citizenship, within the overall structure of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The work is based on the transdisciplinary methodology and the principle of biomimesis in order to strengthen the links between education and sustainability. The intention of this study is to make a specific contribution in the framework of post 2015 educational action. As a result, the research seeks to integrate bioethics as a pedagogical practice in the implementation of Education for World Citizenship through the biomimetic imitation of the coevolutionary strategies that ecosystems have developed for about 3.8 billion years in the socioeconomic structures of human systems.
