Analysis of the knowledge that students of a University subject have regarding the SDGs

[EN] On January 1, 2016, the 2030 agenda came into force, and with it, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) declared by the UN. These Goals are universally applicable, and will undoubtedly affect our lives directly for years to come, directing the efforts of any organization towards the ultimate goals of ending hunger and poverty, promoting world peace, reducing inequality and fighting for climate change to be able to live on a better planet. All types of organizations, from the governments of the countries, local administrations or companies, also passing through Universities and other training entities, should be aware of them, and take them into account in their development strategies, since the future of our planet. But are university students aware of all this? They are the ones who, in the nearest future, must develop and support the strategies and actions necessary to meet these objectives. Without them and their support, it is practically impossible for these goals to be achieved. Therefore, it is essential that university students are aware of the SDGs. The present work aims to investigate this question, to find out if university students know the SDGs and their content, and are aware of them, seeking to achieve the goals they propose. To do this, a survey designed for it is transmitted to a group of university students in a final year course. The results obtained are subsequently analyzed. In this way, once the real situation is studied, the degree of knowledge of the students regarding the SDGs can be known, and thus necessary actions can be proposed to raise awareness.Oltra Badenes, RF.; Guerola-Navarro, V.; Gil Gómez, H.
