Abstract

The world is witnessing various substantial risks and how ecological and climate changes can affect our daily lives, such as ecological and climate ones. The United Nations has established the SDG17 goals for sustainable development till the year 2030. Governments and organizations were assigned to engage people and individuals in societies to contribute in the maintenance of sustainability. Higher education institutions took part as they are the vital agents for change and enhancing students' prosocial behaviours, by adapting policies and curriculums that the core subject is sustainable development and responsible production and consumption. This study is a systematic review to analyze how universities' implementation of SDG12 helps students develop prosocial behaviours. Findings demonstrated that students' approach to positive environmental actions is due to the activities, campaign and educational models offered by universities. Also, it shows that joining forces with universities can contribute in achieving more goals on a larger scale.
