Base Diseño E Innovación, 8(9), 43–53. https://doi.org/10.52611/bdi.num9.2023.936https://hdl.handle.net/11447/9432The current challenge of design education is to obtain favourable results for biodiversity and individuals by generating skills, abilities, and knowledge that integrate the epistemological bases of the activity and form future designers as agents of change. In this way, by providing them with skills and capacities to generate innovation, their profile will allow them to develop solutions that address the complexity of the socio-environmental crisis that afflicts us. Possible fields of action for design to generate holistic development proposals that respect ideological, political, institutional, and technological conditions are outlined. These favour the conservation-regeneration of resources in the territories of the global south, where design can guide social innovation through strategies that promote a new negentropic productive paradigm that ensures the sustainability of life for all.11 p.enEducación del diseñoDiseño sostenibleInnovaciónSustentabilidadProtección ambientalArticlehttps://doi.org/10.52611/bdi.num9.2023.936
