Zhejiang University inspires youngsters in response to UN's 2030 Agenda
Higher education institutions play an indispensable role in realizing the SDGs. In addition to its efforts in education, ZJU has been devoted to achieving a sustainable future through research and operations. From 2011 to 2020, ZJU contributed over 10,000 articles in Net Zero research, ranking among the top institutions globally in terms of scholarly output, according to Elsevier's report Pathways to Net Zero: The Impact of Clean Energy Research published in October.
Meanwhile, its International Campus is the first college campus in China to join the Eco-Campus certification system and won a platinum award for its leading sustainable operations and management capacity. Just two months ago, the Green Origin Association, one of ZJU's 231 student associations, won the 2022 PRME Student Award for excellence in SDG impact out of over 300 student associations worldwide.
"SDG for a better future is not only the theme of our summer school, but also our shared vision," said Wu. "On this interactive and inclusive journey towards a sustainable future, we look forward to joining hands with global stakeholders to realize our shared vision."
