This paper determines sustainable development and emphasizes the importance of educational institutions in proclaiming sustainable development. Furthermore, a research was conducted with the aim of determining an understanding of sustainable development concepts and the familiarity with certain terms as well as the frequency of certain pro-ecological behaviour in future preschool teachers. The sample consisted of undergraduate students of Early and Preschool Education of the University of Zagreb (N = 266). According to the results obtained, future preschool teachers agree that today's society should strive for sustainable development. In addition, future preschool teachers mostly practice those pro-ecological behaviours that relate to energy and water saving.
