Abstract: Sustainable development is a challenging goal established several decades ago in order to create a more harmonious relation among humans and between them and the natural environment. On the long way to this goal education is an important component that needs to undergo important changes. The nature of these changes, their expected outcome, processes and actors contributing to this and the progress made so far are examined in an exploratory approach envisaging to clarify further information needs for improving human resources for sustainable development. In terms of competences, institutions, and educational programs we report significant progresses, while in case of practitioners information availability hindered at some extent the relevance of findings which at this point confirmed the normative framework.
