Abstract
The article discusses the need for the formation of global responsibility among students as a factor of successful adaptation in the conditions of uncertainty and constant challenges of global society. Moreover, global responsibility is considered to be the basic element of sustainable development. A retrospective analysis of the concept of global responsibility is given. The evolution of the scale of responsibility from personal to global is shown. The authors represent the model of global responsibility formation among students. It is believed that global responsibility as a pedagogical problem should be considered within the framework of theory of global competence.
