Abstract:
Mobility is a discipline that involves a series of elements to consider in its functioning and its transition towards the future. It focuses on the planning and management of transportation systems, having a broad understanding of the impacts it can generate in social, economic, and environmental spheres.

Sustainability is the consideration of the needs of future generations in the current levels of natural resource consumption and the satisfaction of our present needs. Sustainability in mobility involves the development of efficient and innovative transportation systems to transform the movement of people.

The objective of this work is to raise awareness among urban mobility students about the incorporation of sustainability into their studies through a series of presentations with posters alluding to the elements of the 2030 Agenda and the relationship of its 17 goals with their studies.

The methodology followed for this work consisted of three phases. The first phase involved identifying the issues related to mobility in terms of society, the economy, and the environment. The second phase consisted of forming five working teams within a group of 25 students to address the topics of air quality and noise pollution, quality of life, resource conservation through efficient mobility, promotion of active mobility, and transformation of spaces with technology. The final phase consisted of a round of oral presentations in front of the group, highlighting important aspects of the involvement of sustainability in the specific topics using an illustrative poster that shows the development of the topic.

The results show that incorporating sustainability into mobility reveals that issues related to the three pillars of sustainability can be addressed and that this broadens the students' perspective by adhering to international instruments such as the 2030 Agenda.
