Abstract
The author starts from the thesis that the discussion on the relation of education and sustainable development in Croatia presupposes the existence of the analysis of the state of education and concretization of the conception of sustainable development.
Croatia still does not have a strategy of sustainable development that is organized theoretically, nor it is concretely formulated in any official document what would be a sustainable development for it.
The same refers to the analysis of the state of education, especially to the presence of environmental subject matter, that would give a well grounded basis for the discourse on education and sustainable development.
The non existence of analytic foundations and the insufficient clarity of developmental and educational perspectives put university teachers into a position of great responsibility and their own initiative.
