Abstract:
It has long been recognized that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the key document governing the activity of authorities, modern societies and communities worldwide. To make our world resilient the goals and targets of the Agenda should be intertwined with our lives. With this purpose the younger generations are supposed to be well-informed about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as their main principles should be incorporated and built into the curriculum of students and learners at all levels, since education is of crucial importance to the modern society and sustainable future for all.The authors of the study conducted a research based on a questionnaire composed for the senior bachelor degree students of Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO University) with the purpose to distinguish the assessment of students of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the context of COVID-19 pandemics, which has drastically changed the reality and our approach to lots of spheres of life as well as future prospects and aspirations.
The subject of the research is a questionnaire database filled in by 105 senior students of MGIMO university concerning their perception and assessment of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals as well as the prospects of their realization in the new reality. The study has got a limitation – it is based only on one university students’ questionnaires.
The methods applied are: a questionnaire, content analysis, sampling and categorization.
The findings of this survey imply that senior students of Moscow State Institute of International Relations highly estimate the role of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in building sustainable future for all. Nevertheless, the majority of them believe that the document is not a paragon and in the context of the pandemics it has proved to partially unrealistic and even imaginary since the new reality has severely exacerbated our well-being and prosperity, making the maladies of the poorer nations unbearable.
