The global ecological predicaments gave mankind the opportunity to consider whether our environment is being sustainably managed, a prerequisite to achieving the environmental aspect of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assessment by some researchers have sufficiently proved that the unsustainable ecological management depends on what people think about themselves and the values they hold dear in relation to their environment. Little is known of huge positive impact ethics could play in the treatment of our environment. This study adopts land ethics as a sine qua non for the achievement of environmental sustainability by 2030. The sources of data for the study were gathered through validated questionnaire administered to 2,873 sampled population of University of Nigeria community, only 1,181 questionnaires were retrieved.
