The 2030 Agenda integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the SDG 4, quality education. The ‘2030 Agenda’ proposes education for sustainable development as one of the pillars to achieve just, equitable, inclusive societies and in harmony with nature. Within this framework, legal clinic training is an inspiring model for strengthening education for sustainable development in the country. This paper presents the results of documentary research on real work cases of legal clinics in Colombia. In addition, it analyzes the work of various legal clinics across the world in order to explain the correspondence between the global legal clinic agenda and the 2030 Agenda. The paper finds that Colombian legal clinics play a relevant role in promoting sustainability through their integration in the SDG framework, having social justice at the core of their pedagogic goals and social projection.

Keywords : legal clinics; education for sustainability; sustainable development goals; social justice; legal education; law.
