Impact of Energy and Climate Change programs in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals
Green Hydrogen Demonstration Station – Integrating solar energy and hydrogen production to advance clean energy and carbon neutrality.
Smart water management and rainwater harvesting system using ICT for efficient resource utilization and leak detection.
Chiayi Air Quality Monitoring Station (Ministry of Environment) – Supporting SDG 3 by improving campus and community health through real-time monitoring.
EDC student teams conducting on-site energy-saving diagnostics and providing industry reports through ICT-based measurement tools.
Tri-Campus Sustainability Forum (Taiwan–Japan–Thailand) – Promoting education, equality, and partnerships for climate action.
Smart street lighting and solar-powered EV charging stations – Building sustainable and low-carbon campus infrastructure.
National Chiayi University (NCYU) integrates its Energy and Climate Change (EC) programs with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through renewable energy generation, carbon reduction, and climate-resilient innovation. Key initiatives—such as solar, wind, and hydrogen energy systems, ISO 50001 energy management, and the GHG inventory and reporting program—advance SDG 7, 9, 11, and 13. Smart water and waste resource management, rainwater harvesting, and circular agriculture practices contribute to SDG 6, 12, 14, and 15. Air-quality monitoring systems and campus environmental safety programs enhance health and well-being, supporting SDG 3. Student participation in EDC energy audits, USR projects, and international collaboration on rice-carbon monitoring promote SDG 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 17 by combining education, equity, innovation, and partnership. These programs are systematically monitored and evaluated through ICT-based dashboards and sustainability reporting frameworks. Collectively, NCYU’s EC initiatives support 14 SDGs, demonstrating a comprehensive impact that fosters a low-carbon, healthy, and climate-resilient university model aligned with Taiwan’s 2050 Net-Zero vision.
