Abstract

This study investigated students’ awareness, participation, and commitment to sustainability initiatives across the four campuses of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, Ikeja, Epe, and Badagry. Data were collected from 214 randomly selected students. The data obtained were analyzed using simple percentages, tables, Pearson correlation, and One-Way ANOVA. The results obtained revealed that 49.1% of the respondents demonstrated high awareness of sustainability initiatives, with Badagry campus recording the highest awareness at 95.5%, and Ikeja the lowest at 35.6%. Furthermore, 63.1% of students indicated familiarity with LASU’s sustainability programmes, reflecting a moderate level of institutional visibility, while 48.1% rated the visibility of these efforts as high, again with Badagry leading at 95.5%. Despite these levels of awareness, only 26.6% of students strongly agreed that LASU is committed to sustainability. Among campuses, Badagry (50.0%) and Ikeja (42.2%) showed the strongest perceptions of institutional commitment. Opinions on LASU’s energy initiatives were mixed: 54.2% rated them as somewhat effective, 28.5% as very effective, and 39.3% believed the efforts were insufficient. Statistical analysis showed positive correlations between awareness and energy-saving behavior (r = 0.224, p = 0.001), as well as between awareness and intentions for future participation (r = 0.174, p = 0.011). Adoption of energy-saving behaviors varied significantly across campuses (F = 10.841, p = 0.000), while intentions to participate in future initiatives did not show significant differences (F = 2.023, p = 0.112). The result generally revealed that LASU students exhibited moderate to high levels of engagement with sustainability initiatives. The notable variations in awareness, perception, and participation across campuses, especially between Badagry and others, highlight the need for tailored, campus-specific strategies to ensure more balanced and widespread adoption of sustainable practices.

Abstract

This research focuses on applying sustainable development principles to finance students’ education at Gulf University (GU)-Bahrain. We coincidentally emphasize the strategic alignment of the UN-SDGs to the finance curriculum. The research is a response to Bahrain’s Vision 2030 and the increasing regional focus on the sustainability of the economy. In this respect, GU paved the way for green finance and redefined finance education to upskill the graduates. Our mixed-methods approach involved analysis of finance program curricula, interviews with 18 faculty members, and surveys of 124 alumni and industry partners. Our research finds a successful three-pronged strategy. First, the finance curriculum was redesigned by SDG-aligned modules, which were embedded into core courses, replacing the traditional CSR course with ESG in Business.  Second, partnerships with the Bahrain Association of Banks facilitated the co-development of ESG case studies and sustainability-oriented capstone projects. Third, faculty capacity building through programs such as green finance trainings since 2023 has upskilled 25+ instructors, resulting in a 67% increase in SDG-aligned research. The research highlights that GU's efforts have contributed to a 19% increase in finance graduates securing sustainability-aligned roles since 2023, aligning with Bahrain’s Vision 2030. This case study offers a blueprint for higher education institutions in the middle east keen to align finance education with sustainability. Finally, linking the university's action to measurable societal and economic impacts, GU demonstrates how higher education can align with national sustainability agendas while preparing graduates for global green finance markets.

Abstract

Sustainable development is a global challenge which requires an innovative approach merging environmental science, economics, policy-making, and artificial intelligence. The data-driven approach using intelligent methodologies is valuable for evaluating and mitigating environmental impacts. This study exploits data from different sources and machine learning methods to analyze key sustainability indicators, focusing on CO2 emissions, ecological footprint, and load capacity factor. The analysis emphasizes advanced feature selection techniques and predictive modelling to identify the most significant economic, industrial, agricultural, and environmental factors that affect sustainability. Comparative analysis shows differences between the importance of indicators established through expert-driven decisions across various scientific fields and AI-driven assessments. The research attempts to solve the problem following a multi-step process: (1) clustering of countries based on environmental indicators to identify patterns and classify according to similar performance; (2) evaluation of the socio-economic and environmental factors’ impact on CO2 emissions using machine learning; (3) predicting future trends in emissions and sustainability metrics through high-level artificial intelligence techniques such as Hidden Markov models. This study will potentially serve policymakers, enabling data-driven decision-making to promote sustainable development efforts. The results demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches to deal with sustainability challenges and to stimulate a balanced path toward economic growth and environmental protection.

Abstract

Population aging is a direct consequence of the demographic transition underway in Brazil and has generated significant impacts on Brazilian society. During the aging process, individuals  often face situations of vulnerability and social isolation, frequently associated with loneliness, which can compromise their autonomy and independence. In 2018, the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) created an institutional university extension program, known as UnAPI - Universidade Aberta à Pessoa Idosa (Open University for the Elderly), designed to welcome and include elderly people within the university environment. The program contributes to the preservation of autonomy and independence, while fostering the development of new social bonds and the exchange of experiences through a wide range of intergenerational activities.This study aims to analyze the program’s development between 2022 and 2025, considering its expansion across different UFMS campuses, the number of vacancies offered, and student enrollment. Currently, UnAPI operates in six cities, carrying out dozens of initiatives every semester. Since its creation, the program has demonstrated consistent growth. Examples of free extension activities offered include: Basic Computing; the Active Life Project, Community Gardening, Oral Health, Choir, Ballroom Dancing, Digital Literacy, Languages and Memory Workshops. UnAPI/UFMS stands out as an innovative and effective strategy for inclusion, training, and social and health education of elderly people in the university context, while also aligning with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as SDGs 3, 4, 10, and 11. Moreover, it strengthens opportunities for building friendships and promoting the sharing of knowledge and life experiences.

Abstract

Sustainable development ensures future generations can meet their needs, making it vital for institutions to adopt sustainable practices. The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework to tackle global challenges, with universities playing a key role through research, education, and partnerships. While studies have explored SDGs in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), a comprehensive, institution-wide approach remains underexamined, particularly in the Middle East North African region. This study addresses that gap by analyzing SDG integration at Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development (HUSD) in Egypt. Established in 2012, HUSD embeds sustainability across academic and operational dimensions, aligning with SEKEM—a holistic sustainable development initiative in the Middle East—and its localized framework, the Sekem Vision Goals (SVGs). The case study examines SDGs across education, research, governance and community engagement, and using content analysis of curricula and journal publications. An UNESCWA-made survey assesses faculty and student perceptions, while thematic analysis highlights key priorities at HUSD, showing its attention to a holistic approach, community-building efforts, and the climate impact of university-led projects. By showcasing best practices for comprehensive SDG implementation, this study provides valuable insights for HEIs, particularly in the Global South, to integrate sustainability into their structures and enhance their global contributions

Abstract

Universities have a crucial role in fostering sustainability awareness and solutions. This conceptual paper introduces a three-stage framework-Awareness, Action, and Advocacy-for empowering students as sustainability ambassadors. The Awareness stage focuses on building foundational knowledge through orientation programs, campus-wide campaigns, and interactive workshops. Action emphasizes hands-on engagement, from eco-clubs and recycling drives to collaborative green projects that cultivate leadership and problem-solving skills. The Advocacy stage involves peer education, institutional policy dialogue, and partnerships with local communities and organizations to extend the impact beyond the campus. The proposed framework aligns with global sustainability goals, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings criteria. It highlights the importance of administrative support, training, and recognition systems to sustain momentum and institutionalize these efforts. By systematically involving students in sustainability initiatives, universities can catalyze lasting cultural shifts, foster responsible citizenship, and create pathways for scalable, real-world impact. This paper contributes a strategic roadmap for higher education institutions seeking to harness student potential, address environmental and social challenges, and build a generation of skilled sustainability leaders.

Abstract

This study examines the effective waste management program at Central Mindanao University (CMU), which dramatically reduced its monthly waste generation from 30 tons to just 2 tons. The implementation of key strategies such as the Ban on Single-Use Plastics and the Color-Coded Sacks Policies, integrated into a broader framework aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs), was crucial for this reduction. As the university transitioned back to in-person classes post-COVID-19, the campus population increased significantly from approximately 11,000 to 17,000, intensifying waste management challenges. In response, CMU established the Office of Environmental and Safety Management (OESM), which effectively tackled these issues by instituting structured policies that not only drastically reduced waste but also enhanced sustainability practices across the campus. The program's success was further amplified by robust community engagement and collaboration with local government, illustrating that a culture of environmental consciousness can effectively meet immediate waste management needs even in the absence of advanced technology. The study highlights how strategic planning and cooperative efforts can lead to significant environmental improvements, positioning CMU’s program as a benchmark for eco-conscious management. It aligns with global zero-waste best practices and demonstrates significant impacts on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
