dc.description.abstractIt is currently undeniable that human health is influenced by the environment and the lifestyle. The United Nations Agenda 2030 emphasizes that the assessment of sustainability cannot dissociate ecological and social problems, specifically concerning health, the environment and human beings, in a logic of collaborative platforms for sharing knowledge, solutions and good practices. These shared approaches should integrate a higher education curriculum, namely through the inclusion of a curricular unit that could be part of all courses and scientific fields to promote the interdisciplinary necessary to deal with wicked problems, such as those involved in environment and health. Sustainability cannot rely on incorporating concepts and methodologies beyond each cut (multidisciplinary). Instead, it must result from a dialogue between such concepts and methodologies (interdisciplinary), making it possible to overcome these cuts (transdisciplinary). This is the way through which scientific community deal with cross-cutting issues, accelerating progress when strengthening the robust methodological approaches of the research to be carried out. This work aims to emphasize the importance of the careful choice of methodologies to be applied to the environment and health fields. A new curricular unit called “Environmental and Health Research Methodologies” to achieve transdisciplinary among different knowledge areas is proposed, contributing to a vision of indivisibility of sustainability science and methods.pt_PT
