The relationship between SDG knowledge and sustainability behaviour of UiTM Negeri Sembilan students

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are presently aiming to achieve a range of SDG goals by creating a sustainable environment in education. By ensuring that everyone in the system is concerned about and understands these goals, institutions can develop strategic plans to achieve this quality education agenda. This research aims to examine the relationship between SDG-related knowledge and sustainability behaviour among students in higher education. The sustainability consciousness questionnaire (SCQ) can assess knowledge related to the SDGs and sustainable development by incorporating the UNESCO framework and sustainability behaviour. The questionnaire was distributed randomly to students at the. Negeri Sembilan branch of Universiti Teknologi MARA. Using the SPSS version 20, Correlation Tests were used in this research to determine the relationship between SDG knowledge and sustainability behaviour. The study’s findings show that SDG knowledge has positively and significantly converted actions into sustainable behaviour. The findings also reveal that students in higher education institutions had a low to moderate level of SDG-related knowledge. As a suggestion, higher education institutions are essential for promoting SDGs. Moreover, universities can encourage and support all students to participate in SDG-related activities, events, and collaborations.
