“…However, the levels of perception and attitude toward SD among Malaysian undergraduates is not a well-researched area.

This paper reports the findings of the perceptions and attitudes towards sustainable development among Malaysian undergraduates. The study was carried out involving 154 undergraduates from five universities in Malaysia. This research was conducted based on a survey whereby the respondents were given a questionnaire to gauge their perception and attitude towards sustainable development. The output of the analyses showed that the respondents have positive perceptions and attitudes towards all sustainability dimensions—environmental, economic, and social—except for economic and social bound issues. These findings suggest that the educators who are involved in sustainable development education need to focus on economic and social bound aspects. Overall, the findings showed that the sustainable development education in higher education institutions has cultivated an appropriate sense of responsibility towards sustainability among their undergraduate students. As such, this investigation serves as a cornerstone to which the current paradigm of sustainable development education can be examined for further improvement by related stakeholders.

In order to reduce this issue, the increase in implementing green buildings is a concern among different construction stakeholders. The aim of this study is to investigate the barriers to implementing green buildings in Malaysia. A systematic review was used to achieve the research aim. A PRISMA protocol was used to present the systematic review. The systematic literature review was conducted between 2018 and 2022, and a total of 18 articles were analyzed. In the process, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were used to find the pertinent articles. In this study, the barrier the green building implementation in Malaysia were identified and categorized into several barriers related to economic, technology and training, knowledge, financial and political aspects.
