The sustainable development approach proposes a new method to solve problems in an integral way while considering the economic, social and environmental implications of development actions, incorporating the vision and action of the different development actors, in the planning and management process, to promote the collaboration of the different disciplines in solving problems facing development and conservation of the environment.

For this reason, studying the relationship between society and territory, based on an analysis of its biophysical, socioeconomic, cultural and political components, is essential to be able to deliver proposals and solutions that are adapted to local and regional peculiarities, it is a matter that deserves special consideration.

In this sense, the management of urban and rural space, as well as the management of the country’s natural resources, cannot continue to be carried out spontaneously and anarchically.

In this context, the Doctorate in Sustainability will contribute to the construction of knowledge in the field of sustainable development, by training high-level researchers, capable of generating innovative knowledge, to contribute to the solution of environmental problems and development according to the national and international reality, which constitute significant contributions to the acquis of universal knowledge in the field of Development Sustainable.
