espanolEn un mundo cada vez mas interconectado, globalizado e interdependiente, se hace mas evidente que los problemas ambientales afectan tanto la salud del hombre como la salud de los ecosistemas. Ello ha sido objeto de discusiones en diferentes escenarios del orden internacional, nacional, regional y local, a partir de los cuales se han generado mas legislaciones, que en muchas ocasiones no han sido efectivas para garantizar el derecho fundamental de gozar de un ambiente sano, es decir, libre de contaminantes. Contaminantes cuyos efectos no son inmediatos, pero que van prevaleciendo y minando la posibilidad de existencia de la vid en este planeta donde el hombre es tan solo una especie mas. Problemas ambientales que obedecen a multiples causas, pero en esencial a la codicia, la avaricia, el egoismo y la falta de una conciencia de si, del otro y del mundo. Asi se piensa que los seres humanos todos, en alguna medida somos responsables, de que cada dia sea mas inviable la vida en este planeta. Ello motivo la iniciativa para la realizacion de la tesis doctoral denominada La Salud Ambiental como Concepto Transversal en Educacion Superior: Una Manera de Ambientalizacion Curricular, a partir de la cual se espera que sea precisamente desde este nivel educativo, donde se oriente a los estudiantes, futuros egresados y tomadores de decisiones, para que tengan en cuenta la dimension ambiental en todas y cada una de sus acciones desde las personales hasta las profesionales, para ir permeando poco a poco todas las instancias de la sociedad, en busca del anhelado desarrollo sostenible. En este ensayo se trata de dilucidar el por que y como se llego a considerar la salud ambiental como una transdisciplina en construccion. EnglishIn an increasingly interconnected, globalized and interdependent world, it has become more evident that environmental problems affect both the health of human beings and the health of ecosystems. This has been the object of discussion in different scenarios of the international, national, regional and local order, from which more laws have been generated which, in many cases, have not been effective to guarantee the fundamental right to enjoy a healthy environment, that is free of contaminants whose effects are not immediate but which prevail and undermine the possibility of existence of life on this planet where man is just another species. Environmental problems respond to multiple causes, but essentially to avarice, greed, selfishness and lack of self-awareness, awareness of other and awareness of the world. So, it is thought that all human beings, to some extent, are responsible for an increasing impossibility of life in this planet. This led the initiative for the development of the doctoral thesis entitled "Environmental Health as a Transversal Concept in Higher Education: A Way of Curricular environ-mentalization", from which, it is expected that, precisely from this level of the education, students , future graduates and decision makers are oriented to take into account the environmental variable in each and every one of their decisions, from personal to professional, to gradually permeate all instances in society, in search of the desired sustainable development.
