Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an international effort based on the social participation of actors in the educational process. This is why, ESD has permeated the pedagogical and didactic aspects of educational models and programs.

This study examines the relevance of incorporating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) developed by the United Nations in a Spanish for Specific Purposes (ESP) program at level B2-C1, aimed at the diplomatic corps of a G20 country studying in Colombia. The action research methodology was applied, using surveys, interviews, journals and pedagogical intervention as collection tools, and quantitative and qualitative analysis.

The findings highlight the challenges and advantages of integrating the SDGs into syllabus, such as cross-curricular content, social responsibility, and environmental linkages. The implications point out the adaptation of pedagogical practices and the design of resources with a multi, inter and transdisciplinary approach.

Keywords : Sustainable Development Goals; Education for Sustainable; Development; Spanish for Specific Purposes; transversality of contents.
