The study examines the efficient use of cutting-edge technology, mainly social networks, to raise environmental concerns in educational institutions because it recognises the critical role that environmental awareness and knowledge play in averting such disasters. The educational sector is essential for helping students become conscious of and comprehend sustainable ecosystems. Utilising quantitative surveys, we identify patterns of social environmental networks towards ecological education frameworks among Malaysian 209 and Japanese 189 individuals of higher educational institutions. The study presents a conceptual approach that aims to enhance students' environmental knowledge and awareness by utilising social media strategically. The results indicate that social networks are an effective means of sharing environmental knowledge and promoting awareness. However, the influence of social media differs greatly depending on cultural factors and the quality of educational systems. This research pioneers the incorporation of social networks into the discourse on sustainable education, adding to the body of current literature. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers who aim to use social media to raise students' understanding and help achieve sustainable development objectives. It provides invaluable information for policy-makers, teaching professionals, and environmentalists who aim to utilise digital platforms for significant and positive change.
