The article examines the scientific advances about transformative pedagogies that are addressed from the global challenges that are currently presented in humanity marked by a profound ecological, social and political crisis, before which arises the need to rethink education systems, due to the constant dynamics of environmental devastation, inequality and conflict that characterize our era require urgent and transformative responses from education. Taking into account the ecological crisis and the social and economic implications that arise, the promotion of social change and sustainability has been identified as a priority. At the methodological level, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, identifying three main variables: transformative education and sustainable development; curriculum and environment towards sustainable education; and transformative education and climate change. In this sense, the results identified the main lines of action and interdisciplinarity that foster the development of critical thinking and guide the participation of the communities from the pedagogical aspects inside and outside the classroom. By way of conclusion, an emphasis is made on the epistemological variety that addresses the specific psychosocial problems that require a solution to generate changes focused on the construction that allow from the cultural guidelines to articulate the learning outcomes in an effective implementation of educational systems
