Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is built on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), consists of 17 goals as universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The assessment of people awareness and knowledge on SDGs is of paramount importance to support any subsequent actions. The awareness of SDGs is higher compared to the previous agenda MDGs only in particular emerging countries hence it requires a better progress after more than three years of its establishment. University students as the agent of changes are supposed to have a higher level of awareness and knowledge rather than average. When the university students have a better awareness and higher knowledge on SDGs, they can actively contribute in supporting, promoting, and achieving the development goals by making use of their academic background. The objective of this research is to assess the level of awareness and knowledge on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among university students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data for this research will be collected by field Survey and Questionnaire. This research will analyze data by using descriptive statistic and Chi-Square. We expect, this research found more than 50% students in UMY have good awareness and high knowledge, which represent UMY students as good agent of changes in the improvement of awareness and knowledge on SDGs in society.
