Though their activities were found to have enhanced students’ awareness of environment and sustainability, there remain two categories of constraints, internal and external, preventing students from proactive performance in sustainability. Based on an analysis of each organization’s strength and weaknesses, and on students’ demands, the authors suggest four steps to improve sustainability planning, including establishment of a hub of sustainability promotion, fostering sustainability leadership, conceiving a systematic action plan, and creating a communication network to promote students’ active efforts towards sustainability</p> <p>Keywords: youth, sustainability-linked activities, education for sustainable development</p>}, number={4}, journal={European Journal of Sustainable Development}, author={Kieu, Thi Kinh and Singer, Jane}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={376} }
