Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under the United Nations (UN) have highlighted the youth as the stakeholders. Their knowledge of the triple bottom line of sustainability (economic, social, and environmental) is a prerequisite for SDG accomplishment. This paper investigates the level of SDGs knowledge among university youth. It was discovered that youth at the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia have a moderate understanding of SDGs and need to be attentive to environment-related SDGs. They were exposed to SDGs by educational institutions and various media platforms. The findings are relevant to SDG-related policy-making and enrich the existing literature.
