Abstract: To the extent that innovation, entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability have been configured as good opportunities for organisations and society, innovation teaching and environmental sustainability teaching have gained importance for the development of an entrepreneurial mindset that can contribute to openness and management of organisations and for the preservation of the environment. Thus, this study aims to analyse the relationship between the constructs innovation teaching, environmental sustainability teaching and entrepreneurship, in the perception of students of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Southern Brazil. The methodology used was a quantitative research, applied to 502 students of higher education, analysed through the modelling of structural equations. The results highlight that encouraging entrepreneurship has become a high-priority topic in teaching-learning practices, as entrepreneurial activities are being considered as a driving force for innovation. In addition, it is important to highlight that innovation teaching is an important way to enhance the entrepreneurial mindset of college students, which may contribute to the local economy, to the opening of new businesses, and to the income generation without environmental damage.
