摘要:Education for sustainable development (ESD) is understood as an educational process that includes training in students, not only the competencies of a particular field of knowledge but also the sustainable competencies to act in favor of the solution to problems related to poverty, inequality, unemployment and the deterioration of the environment. However, to achieve this, Mexican universities need to make changes in their educational and academic models to achieve effectiveness in the process of implementing the ESD perspective in the university curriculum. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the implications it has for the management of universities, to carry out transformations in the educational and academic models in its attempt to incorporate the perspective of ESD in the university curriculum. Through a bibliographic review, the key categories related to university management were delineated that allow greater certainty in this process. It is concluded that a high involvement of teachers in the decision-making process is a crucial aspect to achieve the required change.
