Nowadays, society characterizes for being in a state of civilizational crisis, where poverty, inequality, and conflicts develop a system of problems that make environmental training necessary in our educational system. This urgent change could help with the training of ecological competencies in teachers, particularly in science, which is decisive to allow students to have civic, critical, and democratic training to participate in decision-making for local environmental problems. In this essay, based on the conceptualization of the competencies in relationships, the environmental competencies for action could be the basis for the proposals of actions for ecological sustainability, currently demanded as a criterion of suitability in the curricula of all educational levels, especially in higher education. Finally, it is aimed at integrated environmental competencies, related to learning transitions, which are part of the science standards in the training of students, making teacher training processes in socio-scientific and acute socio-environmental issues a necessary matter.

Keywords : environmental education and science education; integrated action competency; socio-environmental issues..
