The Sustainability and Social and Educational Innovation (SSEI) group aims to promote changes in Education and Science Communication, updating them to our times, and to respond to the threats the Earth is currently facing. Helping students and citizens recognize how the processes that operate on the planet interact to provide a healthy and safe life in respect for geo-ecosystems is of capital relevance to understanding Earth sustainability and to direct our behaviours towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Individual geoethics behaviours are the imperative solution for us to be able to continue to interact on the planet Earth as a human community, justifying why geoethics is one of the major focus of this research group. Social innovations, another important research theme of this group, are new solutions that meet social needs while improving capabilities, relationships, as well as the use of resources, improving and empowering society, with the ultimate goal of systemic change. The SSEI group considers that the achievement of the SDGs of the United Nations calls for social innovation, that is, for changes in society’s attitude and behaviours in order to ensure the sustainability of life on Earth. The SSEI group integrates the CIIMAR research line on Global Changes and Ecosystem Services.
