PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 15 ISSUE 4 (2017), Page 1 - 12 ARE GREEN UNIVERSITIES PRODUCING GREENER FUTURE LEADERS? Raihana Mohd Ghaus1, Rosta Harun2, Lim Kuang Hock3, & Zakiah Ponrahono4 1,3,4Faculty of Environmental Studies UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA 2Institute for Medical Research NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH MALAYSIA Abstract In recent years, studies on campus sustainability have been conducted to measure the impact that universities have on the environment and several mechanisms to measure and rank universities globally on how they perform in sustainability have been proposed. The UI Greenmetrics ranks universities based on sustainable performance ratings and focused more on the initiatives and opportunities provided to achieve sustainability but did not address the issue of environmental literacy among the university students. This study aims to understand how sustainable practices and policies adopted by Green Universities as well as demographic factors relate to the level of environmental attitude and responsible environmental behaviour of Malaysian student leaders. A census survey was carried out on student leaders of Malaysian public universities to assess their level of perception, attitude, personal responsible environmental behaviour (REB) and REB with regards to UI Greenmetrics Criteria. The Mann-Whitney U test conducted revealed that there was no significant difference in the level of the assessed components across all demographic factors between green and non- green universities. Spearman rank order correlation showed that there was a significant positive correlation between perception and personal REB (rs(322) = .385, p ≤ .05) as well student council REB (rs(322) = .542, p ≤ .05). Attitude was found to have a significant negative correlation with student council REB (rs(322) = -.114, p ≤ .05) while a high level of personal REB was significantly correlated with student council behaviour (rs(322) = .579, p ≤ .05).

The research results obtained were 44.44% of the universities included in the QS World Rankings University 2019 rank had integrated courses related to environmental accounting and reporting in the education curriculum at the level proportion of 1.24%. 33.33% of universities apply study programs that are still relevant to the aspects of sustainability and the environment in their educational curriculum. All universities have courses outside the concepts of environmental accounting and reporting that combine with other sciences. All universities apply teaching methods in the classroom. The University has an average of 5 publications per year of research related to environmental accounting and reporting. The university still has a sufficient number of activities of 5-7 activities involving students related to environmental sustainability.

By Richard Borsuk SYNOPSIS There are two new tools for Indonesia to help draw needed foreign investment – the Omnibus Law and a wealth fund. But do not expect significant gains until the pandemic is under control. COMMENTARY COVID-19 CONTINUES to ravage Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s biggest economy. Indonesian officials expect a small contraction in 2021’s just-ended first quarter, which would mean a fourth consecutive period of shrinkage – which has slashed jobs and consumption – compared with a year earlier. Still, President Joko Widodo should feel upbeat about the longer-term economic outlook based on some developments during the first quarter. Surprising sceptics who have been assuming bureaucratic lethargy, the drafting of implementing rules for bureaucratic reforms under the Omnibus Law, which should help attract investors, was completed on schedule, 90 days after the president signed it. Also, Indonesia launched an ambitious “sovereign wealth fund” to draw hefty foreign inflows to build more infrastructure. The United Arab Emirates even pledged US$10 billion for the fund. COVID-19 Cloud However, an ominous cloud still hovers over Indonesia – and until it dissipates, the recession-hit economy likely will have at best an anaemic recovery that is not strong enough to recreate the millions of jobs lost last year, and create new ones for the millions entering the labour force every year.
