	The United Nations General Assembly, given the serious and urgent problems humanity has to face nowadays, has adopted a resolution establishing a Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). This constitutes a new urgent call to educators of all levels and areas to contribute to citizens’ awareness and understanding of the state of the world in order to enable them to participate in well-founded decision-making. Our aim in this paper is to analyse the obstacles that could explain the poor response to previous calls, in order to overcome them and make it possible to assume an ethical commitment on behalf of the community of educators and researchers in science education
