Sustainability requires the interaction of other disciplines in the fields of science, economics and social studies. The disciplines must work together and not in isolation. Once this is archived, sustainable development will also have to be archived. The philosophy is necessary to be put into practice to have an efficient way of addressing sustainability. Mainly environmental sustainability is the one considered important, which includes the following aspects; water, energy, oil and other limited resources. The balance between the social, economic and environmental sectors produces sustainable development (Giddings et al., 2002). Sustainable development is classically defined as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising in any way the needs of future generations (IISD., 2003). Pragmatism requires us to foresee, act and be innovative in problem solving that occurs through scientific research, this philosophy teaches us to be practical (Christopher., 2013). Pragmatism, a philosophy born in the United States in the late 1980s, works with prediction, action and problem solving, the philosophy was not really practiced during the 20th century, it went into resurgence in the last part of the 20th century to the 21st century. It comes from writers like Charles Peirce, known as the classical pragmatist in the field. Later pragmatists include Hilary Putnam and Richard Rorty. The philosophy is based on the pragmatic maxim. Like any other discipline, the pragmatic maxim has its rules. It clarifies the contents of a hypothesis by tracing its 'practical consequence'. The application of this maxim helps us to understand the concept of truth (Christopher., 201...... middle of the paper ...... being far from truly obtaining recognition that can improve the world. From a vision pragmatism we must continue to experiment with ways in which we can improve the environment in a way that best suits our needs Pragmatism can tell us what is needed and seeks in every way to maximize participation in government, it is closely related to the ideals of the social ecology movement (). Jinkins., 2011). Sustainability means that our moral culture must change radically, that new cultural actions are needed, and that problem-based approaches can generate capacity for cultural reform. We can use ecological management as a tool for social learning ascertains that a pragmatic ethic can help advance a political solution. Pragmatic strategy in environmental ethics depends on how well it addresses the most challenging and significant sustainability problems (Jinkins., 2011).
