The Impact of University Social Responsibility on the Environmental Education of the Inhabitants of Chosica, Peru

Abstract

Universities implement social responsibility policies in order to mitigate their impact on the community and the natural environment. In the district of Chosica, residents face the consequences of environmental degradation and climate change. In this context, through a research-action approach, a private university, as part of its social outreach activities, developed an environmental program to promote sustainable attitudes and behaviors in the educational community of the Leticia Kieffer Marchand school. As a result of the intervention, recycling was valued as an effective strategy for reducing solid waste, and the participation of families in conservation activities contributed to strengthening community commitment and environmental awareness. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
