Abstract

Global sustainability is based on intergenerational responsibility. The planet cannot withstand environmental assaults that the capitalist production system can produce if there is not a regulatory mechanism. This mechanism is contained, at least in part, in several regulations and commitments, as “Europe 2020”, which includes goals related with energy efficiency and green economy and others areas linked with social sustainability, as employment, education or social inclusion. This work is centred in a specific group at risk of social exclusion, the Spanish prison population, and the possibility of join two objectives: achieving the social inclusion of this collective through the enhancement of their skills in green economy to get a job. In this way, two of the most important sustainability areas, environmental and social, would be linked and improved. Types of work in prison in Spain are analysed and new proposals are provided.
