The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of Sustainable Development (SD) and its goals to the students of the Faculty of Education, future teachers, in order to become skilled and knowledgeable and then introduce these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to their students. As such, this study tries to link the concept of English Language Learning (ELL), English Language Teaching (ELT), and the SDGs as a type of all-inclusiveness within the “3 Ps”: Planet, People, and Profit. The instrument used for the purpose of this study was an online questionnaire sent to the students of the Faculty of Education in Kosovo. The total number of participants was 89. The students’ responses revealed that 60 percent of the future teachers are aware of the SD concept; however, the results indicate that not all “3 Ps” are hit upon by the future teachers. Based on the results, the most common areas of interest and societal needs of learning about SDGs are related to education, gender equality, good health and well-being, alleviation of poverty, and decent work and economics. These same goals are also hit upon in ELT classes. The study concludes that Kosovo’s future teachers are more concerned about issues related to social issues—“P-People”—followed by goals related to “P-Profit,” while goals related to “P-Planet,” the environment, are left behind. Future teachers’ knowledge about SDGs is vital, for there is a significant direct impact of learning about specific SDGs in higher education institutions, and the application of SDG topics in English language classes can infuse the SD concepts.

This article aims to describe how the community service benefits young generations, especially students of high school in responding the trash problem in Pekanbaru. The fact that society including students did not possess enough awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding thrash problem was the main reason for the community service event. The community service was conducted in the form of training and empowerment which emphasized the participants’ active engagement. The event has shown some positive outputs such as the participants’ understanding on trash problem and the SDGs’ goals as well as their awareness of role and contribution in creating free-trash environments. These are expected to meet two of the SDGs’ goals; sustainable cities and communities; and responsible consumption and production from non-governmental community side.

Development Goals

Environmental sustainability should be the highest priority of each new generation. A toxic-free future can only be achieved if the goal of environmental sustainability, clean production, improved health and democratic decision making for the entire human race are at the core of policy making. The Brundland Commission established by the World Commission on Environment and Development in year 1987, gave equal value to economic growth, social progress, ecological health, and, in more recent interpretations, cultural and informational sustainability. But, mainstream approaches to green governance of environmental protections are mostly human centred and focus on saving lives, infra structure and heritage from environmental risks. [1] At this juncture, the role of mass media becomes pertinent as it can play a vital role in awakening people about recent trends and developments for protection and preservation of environment and ultimately meeting the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Where the Mass Media relies on mono-directional communication, the modern media namely social media is more interactive and involves webs of communications. This form of communication is effective in sharing or expressing opinions or even expressing alternate and opposing views on current issues. This emerging form of media is strengthening the role of media as the watchdog for democracy in this era [2]. Considering the role that media websites can play in enhancing the awareness, triggering the discussions and subsequently accelerating public participation in meeting the SDGs, I found the medium of news channel websites more appropriate for this study. This paper analyses the coverage of topic ‘SDGs’ in four leading news channel websites. This is a qualitative analysis to figure out the extent of coverage of the topic ‘SDGs’ both at National and International level through these websites. The secondary literature review method is used for this paper. Content survey of news channel websites and research work through internet are the sources of this study.

Development Goals

Education is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a questionnaire survey among students from a Chinese senior high school, this study measured the self-reported knowledge, sources of information, learning situations, priorities, the impact of personal life and career planning with respect to the SDGs to understand their cognition, learning motivation and social readiness. The results show that students’ knowledge and information sources in relation to the SDGs are limited, and there is no significant difference between boys and girls in relation to their knowledge of the SDGs, the source of information, the learning level of the SDGs, impact of personal life on the SDGs and career planning related to the SDGs. It is also shown that students have a better understanding of the number of the SDGs and the countries to which the SDGs are addressed and students receive information about the SDGs via formal education and traditional media. Regarding the penetration of the SDGs in course subjects, Chinese and native culture, foreign language, biology and geography have included all the SDGs. Through an analysis of responses and popularity rates, gender equality, quality education, reduced inequalities, no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being are shown to be the students’ priorities with higher attention rates. Gender equality, quality education, clean water and sanitation are the top three goals in relation to which students consider that their personal life can have a greater impact. Students prefer to adopt the SDGs (decent work and economic growth, quality education, industry, innovation and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities) as their personal career choice in the future. Suggestions for improving the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) include comprehensive formal and non-formal education, publicity and curriculum integration to promote learning about the SDGs. A model of ESD in the school surveyed is presented for practical application. Based on this research, guidance and suggestions are provided to enhance students’ awareness, knowledge and competencies in relation to sustainability and to encourage student engagement in global sustainable development.
