Abstract

The article is aimed at studying the theoretical foundations of the formation of a new ecological culture among applicants for education in the context of sustainable development, the challenges of the present and the impact of the russian-ukrainian war on the environment. Features of formation of ecological culture in applicants for education during the educational process and extracurricular activities, which include education, upbringing, personality development, formation of practical skills and abilities aimed at application in further educational activities, are characterized. The key factors of formation of the state of natural and social habitat - urbanization, industrialization, as well as peculiarities of the use of natural resources that reach a critical limit and significantly affect the ecosystems of territories, negatively changing them, have been studied.

The following methods are used in the work: analysis, synthesis, comparison, modeling, forecasting. Various aspects of the educational process of formation of a new ecological culture among applicants for education in the context of sustainable development are analyzed, taking into account the results of scientific works on this topic of Ukrainian and foreign scientists. The results consider the theoretical and methodological principles of the formation of ecological culture among applicants for education in connection with the sharp deterioration of the ecological situation due to the economic activity of people and modern military operations of the russian-ukrainian war. They are one of the most significant factors of violation of ecological balance in connection with pollution of air, water resources, soils, influence of industries of industrial and agricultural production, energy, transport, etc. The conclusions emphasize the importance of forming a new ecological culture among applicants for education in the context of global challenges of the present and sustainable development goals. Theoretical knowledge of applicants for education should also be supplemented by their moral and ethical principles of understanding nature as an extremely important value - the basis of the existence of human civilization. This is what should play the main role in the formation of a new ecological culture among applicants for education.
