520			_aAssessing environmental awareness including nature-based solutions (NbS) among different student populations is understudied. There is a lack of research addressing the public behavior to participate in managing urban forests for climate change mitigation. This study investigates awareness, perceptions, and engagement regarding nature-based carbon capture solutions towards achieving net-zero emissions on the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) campus by collecting primary data through an online survey using Google Forms. A total of 147 participants, including students, faculty, and staff members were selected using stratified sampling to ensure representation of each category based on predetermined sample sizes. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participants{u2019} levels of awareness, perception, and engagement, while inferential statistics such as the H test, U test, and Spearman correlation were employed to compare awareness, perception, and engagement levels across different groups and investigate the relationships between the individual attributes and the outcome variables. The results showed that faculty members exhibited the highest understanding of NbS, especially in terms of forest restoration benefits, followed by staff members and students who shared comparable insights into improved forest management. While knowledge of biochar was moderately understood across the board, with faculty members slightly ahead, encounters with NbS-related information through AIT communication were notably low for all groups. AIT community strongly supported NbS{u2019}s environmental advantages (3.6 3.8), despite recognizing certain challenges (2.9-3.0). All participants moderately valued NbS (3.54) and were somewhat likely to promote NbS participation (3.58), indicating support but highlighting the need for increased engagement and communication efforts.
