description Environmental commitment is the responsibility of every university since it plays an essential role in the training process  of professionals. In addition, it becomes a democratic activity for decision-making, which implies a collegiate work of the  institutional actors to think about possible ways or scenarios for reflection on how to improve our relationship with the  “self” and the “other”. These aspects are essential to transform the thinking and orientation of the university towards  sustainability since it is neuralgic to reassess the why and where the guidelines come from, which in many cases are assumed without further questioning within the institutions. To approach environmental fields and Environmental Education in universities, it is necessary to consider  epistemological, academic, political, ontological and ideological elements. Its analysis enabled the author to identify opportunities, threats and obstacles in developing a curricular greening proposal based on an interdisciplinary process. In summary, the environmental commitment of a university is a historical and democratised position of a shared educational model, which requires configuration and construction processes in the short, medium and long term. The experience developed at Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC) is framed within the possibility of organizing and putting into action the foundation of a proposal for university curricular greening, which hopes to influence interdisciplinary, dialogical, didactic-pedagogical training with negotiation capacity and delimitation of criteria for its implementation.

El compromiso ambiental es responsabilidad de toda universidad, debido a que cumple un papel importante en el  proceso formativo de profesionales. Además, se convierte en una actividad democrática para la toma de decisiones, lo  que supone un trabajo colegiado de los actores institucionales para pensar en vías o escenarios posibles de reflexión  sobre cómo mejorar nuestra relación con “el yo”, “el otro” y “lo otro”. Estos vínculos son significativos en la  transformación del pensamiento y la orientación de la universidad hacia la sustentabilidad, ya que es neurálgico  reevaluar el porqué y el de-dónde provienen las directrices, que, en muchos casos, se asumen sin mayor cuestionamiento al interior de las instituciones. En el marco de abordaje de los campos ambiental y de la Educación Ambiental en las universidades, es necesario considerar elementos epistemológicos, académicos, políticos, ontológicos e ideológicos. Su análisis posibilitó a la autora la identificación de oportunidades, amenazas y obstáculos en la generación de una propuesta de ambientalización  curricular sustentada en un proceso interdisciplinar. En síntesis, la apuesta ambiental de una universidad es una posición histórica y democratizada de un modelo educativo compartido que requiere procesos de configuración y construcción a corto, mediano y largo plazo. La experiencia desarrollada en la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC) se enmarca en la posibilidad de organizar y poner en acción la cimentación de una propuesta de ambientalización curricular universitaria que espera incidir en una formación didáctico-pedagógica, interdisciplinar, dialógica, con capacidad de negociación y de delimitación de criterios para su implementación.
