of Sustainable Development acquires the status of an integrating factor of education as 
a whole, determines its strategic goal and leading directions, contributes to the 
achievement of the ideal goal, the formation of a person with a certain internal freedom, 
independence of his opinion, actions and activities, building his relations with the 
environment based on an understanding of its integrity. Freedom within the framework 
of environmental necessity is just such, according to N.M. Mamedov, there should be 
a strategy for the development of the personality of a new civilization. It is these 
qualities that society is called upon to form through educational systems. Hence the 
strategic goal of environmental education is the upbringing of environmental 
responsibility as a measure of human freedom in environmental conditions [1]. This 
opinion is fully shared by other researchers. For example, V.A.Los emphasizes the 
need to reorient education for sustainable development, which involves the formation 
of a system of spiritual and professional attitudes of mankind, ensuring the 
harmonization of the relationship between man, society and the environment [1]. 
Obviously, one of the main ways of harmonizing socio-environmental relations is to 
restructure the consciousness of every inhabitant of the Earth, overcome the spiritual 
crisis of a person in the context of the idea of sustainable development, and create 
appropriate personal qualities. In this regard, the concept of “social and environmental 
sustainability of the individual” is of particular interest to the problem. Recall that the 
concepts of “sustainability personality variability” belong to one of the fundamental 
categories of psychological and pedagogical sciences, which is the next prerequisite 
for the study of the problem we are considering. We will reveal the essence of 
“sustainability” in psychology. Thus, the Psychological and Pedagogical Dictionary 
(1998) reveals sustainability in relation to educational needs that are experienced by an 
individual throughout adulthood and which remain relevant regardless of changes in 
any social situation. These include: the need for an in-depth understanding of the world, 
the expansion of knowledge and skills in various types of activities, the growth of the 
development of artistic culture. In this case, stability means safety over time, 
constancy, independence from changing conditions [2]. It should be noted that the 
category of personality sustainability is considered, first of all, in the context of 
studying the development process, i.e. personality changes depending on various 
factors. The work of many Russian psychologists is devoted to this process: Rubinstein
S.L., Leontyev A.N., Antsyferova L.I. and others. Specific aspects of the problem 
relate to an individual lifestyle, characterized by relative stability (Loginova N.A.);
