Perception vs Reality

What do students know...and is it right?

In 2020, the University of Tokyo Student Committee, as part of their Sustainable Campus Project, conducted awareness surveys to understand student awareness and to implement better practices for on campus sustainability (follow up of a 2018 survey). Interestingly, when asked where Japan’s achievements lagged in relation to the SDGs, the student’s perceptions were found to be different from ones indicated in the Sustainable Development Report 2020 compiled by experts, suggesting areas where student perceptions might need to be improved. The University of Tokyo has a lot of interesting content in relation to the SDG including this SDG Project List.
