Existing paradigms, which are deeply rooted in our educational systems, are fomenting unsustainable development.
For this reason, it is necessary to opt for a style of education that allows university students to be aware of the need
to live in a different way and be aware of our absolute dependency on our natural environment. This goal requires
fundamental changes in the curriculum, as well as a broader vision of the role that educational institutions must
play. One of the objectives of education in this new century must be to help achieve sustainable social and
environmental human development. In this sense, higher education plays a very important role in the field of
education for sustainability and the university must take on this challenge with great determination. This work
presents a model for formation that furthers the development of basic competencies for sustainability, which must
be incorporated into the curriculum of all higher educational studies
