The social commitment to educate and teach under the approach of sustainability requires a change: to stop reducing Nature to a simple commodity and what changes, strategies and resources to use to train future professionals under a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and critical approach . The University of Guadalajara faces a great challenge, as an institution it must assume commitments and joint actions as an institution of higher education to train a new type of professionals; carry out modifications in all the study plans of the different careers; train their professors, which implies facing institutional and interpersonal barriers relying on collaborative work with other universities, companies, government and NGOs under a social commitment. Although the need for these changes is recognized and it is desired to do so, it is necessary to design the course of action to carry them out.
