National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) responds to the international trend of net-zero carbon emissions by setting clear goals for carbon reduction and carbon neutrality. The university aims to implement the concept of carbon reduction on campus and contribute to societal efforts in reducing carbon emissions.
1. 【Sustainable Campus】NCKU Uses Electric Scooters
To realize its low-carbon campus plan, NCKU has introduced smart green electric scooters. This initiative not only meets low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving standards but also aims to reduce vehicle emissions on campus, fulfilling its social responsibility for environmental protection.
2. Launch of the 【Campus Circular Container Delivery Program】
By encouraging the use of circular dining ware, NCKU aims to reduce the use of disposable containers, allowing students to minimize carbon emissions while dining. This initiative integrates the concepts of carbon reduction and campus sustainability into daily life.
3. Training Program for Carbon Management Knowledge for University R&D Staff
In line with sustainable governance principles and responding proactively to national policies, NCKU has launched its first comprehensive training program for R&D management personnel focused on carbon management knowledge. This program aims to help staff understand the importance of greenhouse gas inventories and guide them in developing strategies to achieve carbon reduction targets, enhancing the university's technical and practical capabilities in carbon reduction while promoting industry-academic cooperation.
4. Hosting the 【Green Economy × Sustainable Transformation】 Lecture Series
The key distinction between circular and linear economies lies in the ability to recycle products after consumption, thereby creating a new cycle. This approach not only reduces waste but also efficiently utilizes resources. The lecture series helped students realize that practicing circular economy concepts can occur without extensive background knowledge, as these practices can be integrated into everyday life.
5. NCKU Ranks Second in QS World University Rankings: Sustainability
QS World University Rankings: Sustainability emphasizes the actions universities should take to address the most pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. NCKU is committed to advancing professional knowledge and opportunities for sustainable development through research, teaching, robust governance, and community engagement. The university has presented concrete evidence and demonstrated its strong commitment to net-zero carbon emissions in various areas, including climate action policies, green procurement policies, sustainable investment policies, student sustainability organizations, and greenhouse gas inventories.
