Former Foreign Minister Kyung-wha Kang, actress and environmental activist Jin Hee Park, and youth climate activist Jeah Han will present solutions for addressing gender gaps and promoting climate action. In addition, a total of 24 sessions will explore practical solutions to address extreme poverty, the climate crisis, and bridging gender, generational, and technological gaps. GEEF 2025 will explore concrete solutions to address various social gaps, including gender, generation, digital competencies, and socio-economic status. Experts in each field will participate in in-depth discussions on policies and technological approaches to reduce gender inequality, educational efforts to reduce the digital divide, and methods to encourage youth participation. Additionally, the forum will seek innovative solutions to bridge social gaps through the use of artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technologies, and will develop concrete action plans to ensure that technology and data-based solutions can have a tangible impact across society. The forum will not only focus on discussions but will also encourage participants to take concrete actions and provide clear direction for building a sustainable society.

聖約翰科技大學推廣「做好事、說好話、存好心」之「三好友善校園」理念，並結合聯合國永續發展目標（SDGs），舉辦專題活動，深化三好友善校園文化。鼓勵學生關懷彼此、尊重多元，並培養社會責任感。本次活動不僅落實三好精神，更希望藉由SDGs的國際視野，提升學生對環境、社會與經濟永續發展的關注，並轉化為具體行動。 Vision惟均管理顧問公司專案經理陳建哲表示，SDGs涵蓋17項全球目標，與三好友善校園的理念高度契合。例如，SDG 4「優質教育」強調包容與公平的學習環境，SDG 10「減少不平等」提倡消除歧視，這些目標與友善校園精神相呼應。透過SDG 12「負責任消費與生產」與SDG 13「氣候行動」，學生可從日常行動實踐永續發展，深化三好價值。 教發中心柯淨文老師指出，三好友善校園的影響力不應侷限於校內，而應擴展至社會。透過課程設計、校內活動與社會實踐，學校可引導學生從「說好話」開始，進而實踐「做好事」與「存好心」，最終內化為價值觀。例如，課堂融入服務學習課程，鼓勵學生參與社區服務，以行動落實三好精神。同時，透過學生自主發起的活動，如關懷弱勢、環境保護等，將三好友善校園的理念化為具體行動。 多媒體設計系王亭雅同學認為設計與媒體在推廣三好友善校園中扮演關鍵角色。透過影像、動畫及社群媒體等方式，能讓更多人認識三好文化，也能以創意方式將SDGs與校園生活結合。她預計與同學合作製作動畫短片，以生動有趣的方式介紹SDGs與三好友善校園的關聯，希望透過數位媒體擴大影響力，吸引更多學生參與。 電機工程系劉毅安同學表示，此次講座以SDGs為主軸，結合三好友善校園的永續議題，講師以幽默風趣的方式帶動課程氛圍，並穿插啟發思考的影片，讓同學對永續發展有更深刻的理解。如從科技應用角度切入，探討如何透過智慧校園系統提升資源利用效率、減少浪費，落實SDG 12「負責任消費與生產」。 劉毅安同學說，他與同學計劃舉辦校園永續創新與創意活動，並與學術團隊合作，讓學生更便捷地參與，實踐「做好事」的理念，共同推動三好友善校園，打造永續學習環境。
記者/李明真報導 2025中台灣元宵燈會展期自2月8日至2月23日在台中市中央公園盛大舉辦，台中市政府農業局燈區以「永續海洋奇幻冒險」為主題，創新規劃一場充滿想像力、奇幻氛圍的海洋冒險旅程，利用海洋保護主題及回收材料傳遞環保意識，以呼應聯合國永續發展目標SDG 14「保護海洋生態」目標及理念，並於「ESG遠見」（https://esg.gvm.com.tw/article/80431）網路分享文章2025年具「綠色亮點」六大燈會之一。 台中市政府農業局長張敬昌表示，「永續海洋奇幻冒險燈區」，以探索、冒險貫穿主軸，邀請賞燈者以成為「保護海洋的勇者」為目標，民眾可於中央公園經貿五路進入燈區，欣賞許多融合海洋保護意識、海洋污染現況、生物知識、饒富教育意義的燈組設計理念。 首先於入口處設置的是因海洋潮汐異常而出現的「太陽月神」燈組，強調現今全球海洋已遭受污染，希望引起民眾注意一探究竟，接著會穿越凸顯海洋塑膠污染，以回收廢棄寶特瓶設計製作白天、夜間會因陽光、燈光照射而閃閃發光的「閃光塑林」廊道式燈組，希望民眾在欣賞燈會節慶氛圍之餘，也注意海洋污染現況，而穿越閃光塑林燈組之後，便會看見以海龜為主題的「星海漫遊者」燈組，而選擇海龜為主題造型，是因海龜原是長壽象徵，一身斑斕花紋，在大海中輕安自在，如今卻受到塑膠吸管、塑膠袋、漁網魚線等塑膠污染傷害，還有氣候變遷、棲地消失等多重危機，另外，此燈組還特別邀請台中海線清水區在地居民及清水小願文化創意協會女性成員共同製作，別具意義，且燈會結束後，材料也將會重複利用，移至清水區繼續成為戶外藝術場景材料，讓永續理念落實及延續。 另一燈組「光舞騎士」是一隻海馬夾著棉花棒的造型，看似單純創意新奇，但其實是以國家地理頻道雜誌曾報導的一篇文章為設計由來，國外攝影師賈斯汀．霍夫曼（Justin Hofman）在印尼松巴拉島附近的污染水域中拍攝到一隻海馬帶著一根廢棄棉花棒游泳的照片，他尤希望更多人看見這組照片，顯示海洋污染的問題，設計團隊便特別在燈區規畫中加入此造型燈組，希望更多人認知海洋污染的嚴重性。 而燈組中高度最高的是一組名為「異維光環」的大小水母燈組，總高度超過11公尺，以一隻大型「僧帽水母」為主角，周邊搭配佈置百隻小水母，視覺新奇震撼，但其實當中藏著海洋生物知識及隱喻海洋危機，希望民眾發覺，首先，僧帽水母實際上並不是傳統的水母，而是屬於管水母的一種水螅類生物，與水母有親緣關係，而百隻小水母所表達的不只是希望單純設計視覺豐盛亮麗燈組，而是表現因為溫室效應造成海水溫度升高、酸化，導致水母過量的生態失衡危機，因為水母生存不受海水酸化影響，隨著其他海洋物種減少，水母將可進駐填補其生態棲位，全球有數十億人口以魚類為其蛋白質主要來源，海洋酸化可能使海洋魚源吃緊的狀況更為嚴重。 在水母燈組旁的，則是特別設計海洋知識展示空間的「深海幽靈－鮟鱇魚」，內部設置三大海洋保護教育主題看板，包括「海洋與我們的生活」、「海洋廢棄物的由來與影響」，第三則是「我們如何在生活中落實減少海洋污染、保護海洋」等內容，希望民眾在賞燈之餘也能獲得親子教育機會，增進親子情感。 最後一組為燈區主燈，總高八公尺的「冰晶守護者-親子北極熊」及周邊搭配佈置一百隻小企鵝，在可愛的佈置燈飾氛圍中，農業局欲凸顯的是溫室效應危機、極地融冰議題，傳達不可能在自然兩極極地中相遇的兩種生物，一起出現聚集在中台灣燈會中，討論如何面對危機及希望邀請賞燈民眾一起成為未來保護海洋的勇者。台中市政府農業局歡迎民眾來賞花燈，也歡迎民眾點入粉絲專頁掌握最新農業動態：https://www.facebook.com/Agri.Taichung/?locale=zh_TW 台中市政府農業局長張敬昌表示，「永續海洋奇幻冒險」燈區，不僅只是一場燈會視覺盛宴，更希望引起海洋保護意識。農業局希望藉由燈會的舞臺，凸顯海洋保育的急迫性，邀請大家共同為環境永續出一份力，燈會期間歡迎攜家帶眷親身體驗。

TAINAN, Jan. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Silks Place Tainan, part of Silks Hotel Group known for managing Regent Taipei, is thrilled to share the success of its "A Sustainable Future: SDGs Table" dining experience. Held five times in 2024, this unique event welcomed over 300 guests and combined delicious cuisine with a meaningful focus on sustainability, taking diners on a journey inspired by the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Robin's at Silks Place Tainan, managed by Silks Hotel Group, presented the 'A Sustainable Future SDGs Table,' blending sustainability and culinary excellence into a memorable dining experience. The event highlighted the harmonious relationship between nature and human sustenance, a connection that's deeply rooted in island culture, where mountains, land, sea, and ecosystems all work together in harmony. Guests enjoyed a full sensory experience, tasting the true meaning of "wellness" through an eight-course menu made with local and native ingredients, all crafted with sustainability in mind. Collaborating for a Sustainable FutureThe centerpiece of "A Sustainable Future: SDGs Table" was the collaboration between two renowned Taiwanese chefs: Alex Peng of AKAME, a native-cuisine restaurant in Wutai Township, Pingtung, and Nick Yang of Sinasera 24, a French-inspired fine dining restaurant in Changbin, Taitung. Together, they blended traditional wood-fire cooking with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients to create a unique dining experience that paid tribute to the principles of ecological sustainability. AKAME, meaning "grill" in the Rukai tribal language, and Sinasera, meaning "earth" in the Amis tribal language, brought indigenous culinary techniques to life, elevating the transformative power of food to support a sustainability. The event showcased fresh ingredients from trusted local partners like Happyspoonbill, Jacana and Chestnut from Guantian, Sheng Feng Bee Farm, and the Guardians of Jacana in Kaohsiung. These ingredients, ranging from green bamboo shoots and water caltrops to bonito and wild jelly fig, were thoughtfully sourced from farmers, fishers, and agricultural cooperatives committed to eco-friendly practices that protect biodiversity and preserve natural habitats. A Model for Ecological Co-ExistenceA prime example of this is Happy Food, a pioneering agricultural initiative that bridges seasoned farmers and the next generation of agriculturalists. By revitalizing abandoned farmland using natural and non-toxic farming methods, Happy Food addresses the challenges of rural aging and land degradation. This approach allows older farmers to retire with a steady income while giving younger farmers the chance to revitalize the countryside. The Guardians of Jacana, another notable partner, have transformed Taiwan's native aquatic plants, such as water snowflakes, into an economic crop. Not only does this preserve the island's rich biodiversity, but it also creates a protected habitat for the rare Jacana bird, highlighting the power of sustainable farming in preserving both local ecosystems and endangered species. Beyond Dining: A Holistic ExperienceThe "A Sustainable Future: SDGs Table" experience was about more than just food—it brought together art, culture, and sustainability in every detail. Silks Place Tainan's award-winning sommelier, Carols Chen, elevated the evening with expert wine pairings that celebrated local creativity. One standout was the Vino Formosa Rosso, crafted by Chien-Hao Chen, Taiwan's first French-certified winemaker, who spent 14 years perfecting techniques to thrive in Taiwan's humid climate. Guests also enjoyed specially crafted cocktails by Yi-Hsiang Huang, founder of Asia's 50 Best Bars Bar T.C.R.C., and Nono Yu, founder of The Han-Jia Pairing Dinner. Adding to the ambiance, a curated soundtrack by Golden Melody Award-winning singer-songwriter Ming-Yu Hsieh told the story of the ingredients, making the experience even more immersive. In a creative and eco-friendly touch, the menu was designed by Half-Goatee Pop-up Book Lab and renowned paper artist Shi-Yi Yang. Made from recycled diapers, it was a powerful reminder of how rethinking and innovating can shape a sustainable future. A Call to Action for a Better TomorrowSilks Place Tainan sees "A Sustainable Future: SDGs Table" as more than just a dining experience—it's a call to action. The event inspired guests to make thoughtful choices, showing how food can nourish both people and the planet. By championing sustainable farming, eco-friendly cooking, and the values of collaboration and care for our world, Silks Place Tainan is proud to stand behind a greener, more sustainable future.
