Abstract
The study assesses the university-wide implementations of SDG in relation to UNEP’s Green Nudge book. The existing nudges at the University of Calgary main campus are identified and evaluated for their impact on influencing campus community behavior and decision-making toward resource utilization. For this study, existing SDG applications and knowledge gaps existing in the physical and digital landscape are identified. This helps examine and formulate the future direction of community engagement on climate action and subsequent climate change mitigations. The study focuses on experiential learning opportunities on campus and highlights the campus as a learning lab initiative through campus-wide SDG literacy and green nudges. This includes campus-wide actions under each SDG category involving architecture design, the default setting, social influence, and educational campaigns. These “green nudges” implemented to promote SDG’s on campus are intended to instill environmental values to last a lifetime.
