With the pervasive impact of media in shaping public opinion, this research focuses on how these channels utilize digital platforms to enhance public knowledge on sustainable practices and policies. Through a comprehensive survey method targeting a diverse demographic within Baghdad, the study evaluates the extent to which social media content related to sustainable development is accessed and assimilated by the audience. Results indicate a significant engagement with these platforms, which in turn appears to correlate with heightened awareness and a better understanding of sustainable development concepts among the public.
