[Call for Participants] The International Joint Research and Training Workshop on SDGs and NZE

17 August 2023

Driven by the deterioration of environmental quality and the climate change, 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 2050 net zero carbon emission (NZE) have merged as significant global issues. More than 130 countries have set or are considering a target of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases to net zero by mid-century. Up to now, most countries have pledged to cut down CO2 emission by at least 45% in 2030 and achieve the net zero emission in 2050. This huge challenge creates a great need for most governments to focus on the development of cutting-edge green technology for a sustainable environment and energy. Actually, not only the net zero CARBON emission, the net zero emission of water and solid waste are also essential to achieving the SDGs goals by 2030. 

In addition to SDGs 6, 7, 12 and 16, the international partnership for the goals (SDG 17) is definitely one of the crucial activities that needs to be addressed. Therefore, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan held the SEA workshop on「Environmentally Green Technology for Sustainable Development Goals and Net Zero Emission」 during October 17 – 28, 2023.  

The purpose of this joint research and training program is to strengthen the academic cooperation between Taiwan and International societies, especially Southeast/South Asian countries and other developing countries in the areas of environmentally green technology, sustainability, and net zero carbon emission. We encourage government officers and professors with administrative positions to attend this workshop program. A total of 25–30 fully-supported participants will be invited. In addition, several partially supported participants will be offered. Through this course, we do believe that the participants will gain knowledge in cutting-edge technology for SDGs and NZE as well as to form a strong academic networking system for water-energy nexus, SDGs, and NZE.
