We are presenting a study with the objective of justifying the need to create new publications to promote communications of different research and experiences involving Environmental and Sustainable Education. These publications are a means to communicate to the scientific community as well as to society in general information about the social-environmental crisis but also to offer possible solutions to this situation. In order to collect data on the subject a total of 1743 articles publish between 2014-2018 have been revised, in eight different journals from this area of education as well as one from the area of the experimental sciences. We analyzed the politics and the scopes of these journals and their different sections to characterize better the type of publications involved. The results have shown that the presence of these themes is relatively low in the journals we have gone through. There is a need to broaden spaces and possibilities to publish. To do so it is important that existing journals increase their responsiveness to this kind of work, but also absolutely necessary to create new journals like the one we propose in this article: Revista de Educación Ambiental y Sostenibilidad. Keywords: Environmental Education; Education for Sustainability; Scientific Publications. ; Resumen: Presentamos un estudio cuyo objetivo es justificar la necesidad de creación de nuevos espacios que permitan la comunicación de investigaciones y experiencias en torno a la Educación Ambiental y la Educación para la Sostenibilidad. Estos espacios son una vía para hacer llegar tanto a la comunidad científica como a la sociedad, información sobre la situación de crisis socioambiental pero también sobre posibles soluciones a la misma.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the presence of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by the UN (2015) in university degrees within the fields of education, humanities and environmental sciences (ES) at Andalusian public institutions (Spain).Design/methodology/approachThis paper shows an empirical analysis from a mixed methodological model on a total of 99 syllabi and training programs from nine different universities. The collection of information has been carried out through a rubric specifically designed within the framework of this body of research.FindingsThe results show that the syllabus of the subjects in the faculties of education includes the SDGs related to the social aspect of sustainability, with special focus on SDG4, SDG5, SDG10, SDG16 and SDG17, whereas others like SDG6 and SDG7 are less represented. SDGs are present in the majority of syllabus of the subjects analysed. It is certainly a positive finding which shows predisposition and a high interest on by the teachers involved. However, this is not enough as there is still a long way to go until achieving a thorough and complete incorporation of the principles of sustainability.Originality/valueThis research sheds light on the changes and transformations that the discourse linked to sustainability is generating in the university syllabi. Taking the SDG as a framework this paper highlights the most original aspects: a replicable methodology that allows diagnosing the level of curricular greening of the university syllabi is provided to other contexts the innovative value of connecting teaching with local and global environmental problems in their physical-chemical social and economic dimensions is shown and it has been possible to compare the difficulties of some universities in addressing compliance with the SDGs and curricular sustainability from a systemic and integrative perspective that will lead to methodological transformation and pedagogical renewal.
