Abstract

The present study examined students’ knowledge and attitudes in behavior about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at Lagos State University, Lagos State, Nigeria. The data for the study were extracted and analyzed from the 353 copies of structured questionnaires that were self-administered to students across the ten (10) faculties. Data was analyzed using simple percentages, tables, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and logistic regression analysis. Results showed that a good percentage (77.1%) of the respondents had knowledge of and were aware of the term SDGs. Social media (33.1%), lectures (14.4%), and television (12.5%) were the prominent sources of SDGs awareness by the respondents who claimed they were aware of the term SDGs. The level of awareness of the various SDGs also varied among the students with most students being aware of 14 of the SDGs (77%), while the remaining (23%) claimed they were not familiar with three goals (9, 12, and 17). The result of the awareness further showed that among the SDGs they claimed they were aware of (91%) were for SDG 1 (NO POVERTY), while, the percentage of the level of awareness for the remaining varied from 1.1% to 13.5%. The students displayed behavioral support toward the actualization of sustainable development goals by encouraging a sustainable energy approach, encouraging sustainable consumption patterns, and discouraging biodiversity loss through their behaviors. Based on these findings, it is strongly recommended that the universities in Nigeria revise and incorporate the teaching of the SDGs into their academic curricula. This step will afford the students adequate knowledge about the UN SDGs and how these can be achieved and sustained.

Abstract

Unicamp is making progress in making its energy consumption more efficient through partnerships with companies in the electricity sector and projects carried out within the scope of the Coordination of Sustainability. Despite already being able to report a reduction of around 10% in energy consumption during the last four years, it is important for Unicamp to be able to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable operation. The Energy Efficiency Project aims to reduce the university's electricity consumption by 30% by 2030. For this purpose, it is divided into three sub projects aimed at saving energy, modernizing, and improving buildings and the university's sustainability indicators. The Unicamp 100% Led subproject foresees the replacement of conventional lamps by 18W LED tube lamps. The Sustainability in the Air subproject aims to replace old air conditioning equipment with efficient equipment. And the + Photovoltaic subproject aims to increase the generation of photovoltaic energy on the roofs of university buildings. The main goal of this is to report the implementation process of this project, its challenges, results achieved and indicators. The result of this explanation can be used as an example so that other universities can advance in the sustainable management of electric energy.

Abstract

This paper examines the attitudes, opinions, and values that consumers hold regarding environmentally friendly products in the domestic market. Given the fact that consumers have been focused on sustainability and environmental consciousness more than ever, it is crucial to understand how these factors influence purchasing decisions. Special attention will be paid to the role of environmental awareness in shaping consumer attitudes and behaviors in the context of purchasing sustainable products. To collect quantitative data, a structured questionnaire will be used, while focus groups will be applied as a qualitative method to gain deeper insights into consumer attitudes and opinions. Additional data will be collected through observational studies in stores and online shopping. The research results will provide data for more precise definition of marketing strategies, adjustment of production processes to produce more environmentally friendly products, as well as for product development.

Abstract

In order to organize the multiple actions the Universidad Javeriana had been developing for the sustainable management of its campus, a strategic plan was structured. The plan is structured in five major programs: water resources, energy, biodiversity, recycling and reduction of CO2 emissions. For the definition of these five programs we were inspired by the contributions of the thematic structure of Green Metrics, the recommendations of the Encyclical Laudato Si and the SDGs. In turn, each program is broken down into sub-programs, projects and sub-projects. Each program also includes cross-cutting strategies articulated in sub-programs which are broken down into research projects, semester projects, graduate work and theses. Also, sub-programs for disseminating initiatives and entrepreneurship are considered. The planning instrument is taken to the detail of operational planning, using the Gantt Chart. A team coordinates the coordination of the different programs and meets weekly to review its progress. The plan was presented and approved to the University's Steering Committee, and the document has been incorporated into the University's Strategic Plan. It is also being used to link professors from civil engineering, electronics and architecture careers who invite students to carry out semester or degree work on topics that strengthen campus execution.

Abstract

Conventional ways of delivering sustainability content often fail to capture the breadth and dynamism of university challenges. To overcome the issue, UI GreenMetric has proposed a new way of delivering content by using digital media. This study investigates the integration of digital mediaincluding Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Website to augment sustainability insights within the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings Network. This study analyzes the results, effects, and further implications of UI GreenMetric’s practices in incorporating user-generated content from those digital media platforms into the sustainability assessment framework to leverage the ubiquity and the richness of the content. The analysis is conducted for various activities, such as podcast/live discussions, event streaming, posts and videos related to sustainability initiatives. The findings show that integrating digital media has significantly boosted sustainability outreach within the UI GreenMetric network. UI GreenMetric not only drives the transformation of individuals, communities, and universities toward sustainability but also extends its impact through dozens of online events, such as webinars, workshops, courses, live discussions, and podcasts throughout the year. These efforts have successfully reached a wider audience, leading to meaningful behavioral changes as participants engage in campaigns and actively contribute to rankings and events.

Abstract

More than 30 years ago, the participation of RUDN in the Earth Summit in Rio became an important moment in the university’s history: it was decided to create the first comprehensive ecological faculty in Russia. Now half of the history of our university is also the history of environmental education in Russia. During this time, more than 10,000 ecologists and hundreds of specialists in other sustainability areas were trained. Almost all programs at the university include aspects of sustainability. Over 15 MOOCs and 10 interdisciplinary courses on relevant aspects have been developed. Annually, over 1,000 specialists improve their skills in various aspects of sustainability. An extensive research program in the areas of environmental safety and sustainability includes only in recent years: a program on environmental safety of transport (a part of the Federal project “Clean Air”); expert work on the implementation of BATs. In 2021, Russia’s first Body for the Validation and Verification of Greenhouse Gases was successfully accredited in the university. More than 100 students are annually involved in the campus environmental monitoring program. Since 2022, the university presents a sustainability report. The environmental policy is presented on the university website and has been successfully implemented since 2017. We are confident: the role of the university is the formation of personality, the promotion of the sustainability ideas on the example of its home university.

Abstract

The university campuses are like microcities, providing employees and students with social opportunities and essential services in addition to their core educational activities (teaching, research, and outreach). The smart campus is a growing trend that makes efficient use of infrastructure by integrating smart technologies for decision-making and advancing sustainability goals. The mobility and transport project at the Unicamp University campus is part of the Smart Campus Management Technical Chamber, and the Campus 5.0 concept is aligned with several sustainable development goals outlined in the UN's 2030 Agenda. This proposal aims to develop an inventory of vehicle emissions, establish the connectivity of the information and communication network to analyze the impacts of vehicles on local air quality, and structure support models for decision-making, in addition to presenting practical solutions implemented at Unicamp aiming at greater sustainability of the campus. The information and communication network will allow the collection and analysis of data in real time, providing accurate and updated information on vehicle emissions and air quality in the campus area. Decision support models will be developed, which will allow the definition of policies and actions to promote sustainable mobility on campus, contributing to the creation of a healthier and more sustainable university environment. These results will aid university administrators in improving Green Metrics' key performance indicators.
