Summary/Abstract: In order to ensure sustainable life on Earth, there is a necessity to increase environmental education and take a holistic approach in education. In this context, there is a need to reform current education and pay more attention to different forms and types of pro-natural education. The paper outlines the forms of education that focus on the promotion of sustainability in our education system, arguing in particular that, in order to ensure sustainable economic and social development, it is necessary to include pro-natural education in the education of future professionals for the economy. Special attention is paid to pro-natural education focused on ecological literacy or eco-literacy. At the same time, it is outlined that other educational institutions should also focus not only on raising environmental awareness among pupils and students, but also on preparing eco-literate professionals for various fields of practice.
