NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The world leading solar technology company LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (LONGi) joined a new initiative today at the Private Sector Forum during the SDG Summit 2023 to accelerate private sector action at the pace and scale needed to deliver on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and meet the 2030 Agenda. The UN Global Compact Forward Faster initiative calls on business leaders everywhere to take measurable, credible and ambitious action in areas that have the power to accelerate progress across all 17 SDGs where the private sector can collectively make the biggest, fastest impact by 2030. The SDG Progress Report released earlier this year by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, showed that just 15 per cent of the Sustainable Development Goal targets are on track, progress on 48 per cent is weak and insufficient and progress has stalled or gone into reverse on 37 per cent of the SDGs. Mr. Li Zhenguo participated in the Private Sector Forum 2023 with United Nations officials and business leaders.

LONGi's founder and president Li Zhenguo shared his insights with other participants of the forum. Mr. Li Zhenguo believes that the development and promotion of renewable energy technologies can not only provide power for the clean energy transition and reduce carbon emissions, but also promote socio-economic growth, create job opportunities, enhance energy security, improve health and education levels. By increasing investment and promotion in renewable energy technologies, feasible solutions can be provided for SDGs, while creating a more sustainable future for global social, economic, and environmental challenges. Mr. Li Zhenguo further explained. The Forward Faster initiative focuses on five action areas: Gender Equality, Climate Action, Living Wages, Water Resilience, and Finance & Investment. LONGi has committed to 3 detailed targets in 2 action areas: Gender Equality Equal representation, participation and leadership across all levels of management by 2030. Equal pay for work of equal value by 2030. Climate Action Contribute to a just transition by taking concrete actions that address social impacts of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in partnership with actors such as workers, unions, communities and suppliers. At Private Sector Forum 2023, global business leaders shared their views with governments and announced ambitious actions and investments to advance the achievement of the SDGs. The forum also praised the pioneer of United Nations Global Compact's "Forward Faster" initiative - companies that have committed to achieving ambitious goals before the launch of the Forum, including LONGi. About LONGi Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world's leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation. Under its mission of 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world', LONGi has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment.

The SDGs Asia exposition featured more than 400 exhibits by 120 organizations including central and local governments, corporates, universities, and NGOs. Through dialogs and discussions at the SDGs Asia summit and the SDGs Asia forum, stakeholders stayed connected, shared sustainability practices, and found solutions to move toward a net-zero future. In response to Taiwan’s actions for sustainable development, Taipei 101, which is the world’s tallest green building, turned on all exterior lights during the night on July 20. The event was co-led by the National Council for Sustainable Development and the Alliance for Sustainable Development Goals (A·SDGs) and hosted by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE). During the Sustainability Action Awards ceremony, chief sustainability officers across different public and private sectors that were awarded gathered to celebrate their achievements in sustainable development. At the opening of the award-giving ceremony, Chen Chien-Jen, President of the Executive Yuan, presented the awards to the award winners. He said that our government passed Taiwan’s Climate Change Response Act in January making a plan for Taiwan’s pathway to net-zero emissions in 2050 and legislated a law to elevate the status of the Environmental Protection Administration to the Ministry of the Environment. Moreover, to achieve net-zero emissions, the National Development Fund of the Executive Yuan and the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation jointly establish the Taiwan Carbon Credit Exchange. He believed that enhancing the partnerships between government agencies, corporates, and civilians can help Taiwan achieve net-zero emissions and develop a sustainable future for the next generations. Another presenter for the Sustainable Action Awards was You Si-Kun, President of the Legislative Yuan. He said assertively that the extreme weather has affected many millions of people on the planet, and therefore, taking action to reduce carbon emissions is more urgent than ever before. We must take action now! Eugene Chien, Chairman of TAISE and the host of 2023 SDGs Asia, said that the United Nations launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and announced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. Although Taiwan is not a member state of the United Nations, our government and private sectors have made efforts to achieve the SDGs and have implemented SDG 17 for the global partnership for sustainable development. He expected that promoting the Asia Pacific Sustainability Action Awards (APSAA) could demonstrate Taiwan’s determination and action to achieve SDGs. This year, the APSAA committee received 79 submissions to be considered for 68 awards and 321 sustainability action case studies to be selected for 279 excellent case studies. At the ceremony, he paid tribute to the APSAA winners, honoring the organizations and individuals that have dedicated themselves to age-friendly society, health and wellbeing, net-zero transitions, gender equality, social inclusion, environmental protection, and climate actions. To promote Taiwan’s pathway to net-zero emissions, the theme of our exposition was “Towards a Net-Zero Future” and had 7 exhibit areas: policy, cities, corporations, education, non-governmental organizations, living, and energy. All exhibit areas provided an ideal opportunity for all participatory organizations to showcase their strategies for sustainability transition. Furthermore, the exposition included 12 sustainability forums and 6 summits. We encouraged the public to join the events to experience sustainable lifestyles. For instance, joining the Taipei Golden Eagle Micro-Movie Festival Broadcast and the Climate Change Painting Competition Exhibition could have the opportunity to explore several sustainable topics like sustainable cities. Chairman Eugene Chien also reiterated President Tsai Ing-Wen’s statement on Earth Day that the transition to net zero by 2050 is a global aim—that is Taiwan’s mission as well. He anticipated through summits, forums, award ceremonies, and events to integrate public and private sectors to achieve SDGs in Taiwan. 2023 SDGs Asia took place at Taipei World Trade Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday through Sunday, July 21-23. The exposition was open for all people to participate in a full day of events and exhibitions in this venue, located in the heart of Taipei! Find the link for your reference: 1.

DHAKA, Bangladesh, July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nagad, the world's fastest-growing mobile money carrier based in Bangladesh, has been instrumental in speeding up this South Asian country's journey towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) through its relentless efforts in the form of digital financial inclusion of underserved people. The SDGs were adopted by United Nations in 2015 with a universal call for action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. In terms of meeting SDGs, Bangladesh has had positive outcomes in areas, such as poverty eradication, education, health, employment, gender equality, and financial inclusion. Nagad is working with the government as its development partner and is leading the way towards attaining SDGs. By leveraging state-on-the-art technologies and disruptive innovations, Nagad has expanded access to financial services, particularly for unbanked and underbanked individuals. People can easily open accounts digitally, make instant transactions, and access various financial services using this platform. The company has recently reached the milestone of 80 million registered customers, with its daily transactions reaching over USD111 million on average. The MFS carrier provides a convenient and secure means for individuals, especially in remote areas, to store, transfer money using their mobile phones and engage in economic activities, thus empowering people who previously lacked access to traditional banking services. The state-owned mobile money operator also digitalised G2P payments, such as social safety allowances, education stipends, and other financial aid. By digitising such payments, Nagad ensures faster, more efficient, and transparent disbursements, reducing leakage and ensuring that funds reach the intended beneficiaries promptly. In this way, it is helping Bangladesh government find sustainable solutions to alleviate poverty and achieve food security. It has so far disbursed over USD 1.85 billion among beneficiaries. Nagad has simplified the account opening process which does not require any paperwork. People now can open accounts either through e-KYC on smartphones or by simply dialling *167# on their feature phones. Thus, the use of papers has reduced, resulting in a positive impact on environment. Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad Limited, said, "We think development should be sustainable. Keeping this in mind, we have been working as a development partner of the government since we entered the mobile financial market. Nagad is making a clear contribution to at least 9 out of the 17 SDGs." The SDGs can be a stepping stone to reach our goal of Smart Bangladesh by 2041. In this case, Nagad will be a powerful tool, he noted. About Nagad Ltd (https://www.nagad.com.bd/) Nagad Limited is one of the leading MFS operators in Bangladesh's payment industry with 80 million registered customers and an average daily transaction of over USD 111 million. The payment platform, known as a successful public-private partnership between Bangladesh Postal Department and the private sector, was inaugurated in 2019 by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of the people's republic of Bangladesh.
南一書局成立70週年，陪伴千萬學子面對挑戰在學習中前進，在年代更替中的不同教育裡忠實陪伴。教育攸關國家未來競爭力，也是聯合國SDGs中明定的一項永續目標之一，伴隨台灣教育推演更迭，走過九年國民義務教育，到九年一貫課程實行一綱多本的多元化教育，南一深刻了解教育與社會結合的意義。面對全球教育體系、教學工具與學習方法都面臨巨變翻轉，南一透過多角化經營，協助師生因材施教、適性發展，全方位培養健全人格，70週年之際以企業包場支持公益電影紀錄片《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》，力挺生命毅力故事，回饋一路走來一起為台灣教育努力的同仁與老師，用行動實踐聯合國SDGs永續發展目標對「優質教育」倡議。 南一書局董事長蘇偉銓感性地說：「做教育需要有理念，幫助每一位孩子發揮潛能，透過教育可以實踐百年樹人，也是身為教育參與者的一種圓夢過程。」，70年前，南一書局創辦人蘇紹典以出租佛書與升學用書起家，希望透過印刷佛經傳遞教化人心的力量，也奠定之後南一書局以「陪伴」以及「學習」兩大精神貫穿走過70個年頭。 「教育的成就是讓學習融入生命，透過知識力量，累積跨越無數人生關卡挑戰的勇氣，展望未來，南一依舊會像那道溫暖的光，在教育路上與大家一同前行。」蘇偉銓表示，南一企業從上到下秉持初心，以及對於每一位孩子的尊重，和公益電影紀錄片《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》中所探討的理念相近，特別在70週年之際，以企業包場形式邀請更多人一同探索教育與生命尊重的真諦，擴大正面影響力。 《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》以內科醫師陳奇峯與身障妻子宋立蓉創辦生命勵樂活輔健會為背景，幫助重度身障者透過運動，追求更好的內外在生活品質體驗。在為期2年訓練下，夫妻倆去年10月以「一生一次，勇敢圓夢」鼓勵身障者以手代腳，風雨無阻挑戰騎乘手搖車環島9日，歷時27個月、逾40,000分鐘的拍攝，濃縮出101分鐘精彩紀錄片，汗水淚水雨水澆不熄這群生命鬥士勇氣，透過螢幕直搗人心。 「教育沒有標準答案，過去70年來，南一不斷探索，我們深知學習路上的困難與挑戰，卻也更堅信每一個生命所擁有的獨特價值，教育是彼此鼓勵接納，激發向前的動力。」蘇偉銓回憶和《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》導演林樹橋相識過程，不論是對影像紀錄或是挖掘一個個在台灣土地所孕育的生命毅力故事，都叫人動人不已，也讓教育不只侷限在書本上的知識，而是用行動學習對生命的尊重與跨越挑戰。 林樹橋導演表示：「影像的無遠弗屆，能夠向世界傳播溫暖的力量，也一直是我作為導演的理念，《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》是一部有關於社會教育的勵志電影紀錄片，意義非凡。我們希望它可以帶給台灣學子及社會大眾對於生命的啟發，也希望所記錄下來的真實生命故事，能夠帶給社會正面與溫暖及向上的正向能量。」 南一書局集企業資源之力，在108課綱的素養教育中持續創造生活的感動連結，讓素養教育落地、推動數位教材領先，成為家長與孩子學習之路最忠實的陪伴者。如同《跌跌撞撞的圓夢者》紀錄片所述，人生沒有不如只有不同，看見自己的天賦，每塊大理石都蘊含著一座美麗雕像，只要將積存的灰塵清除掉，便會顯現出來，以人為本的教育，才能創造翻轉的機會與可能，兌現永續的最後一哩路。
明志科技大學國際處延續大學社會責任(USR)計畫之精神，從與新北市圖書館合作辦理實體或線上英語故事分享活動，隨著疫情趨緩，重新將資源投入地區國小，並將計畫融入跨國合作元素、強化新計畫與聯合國永續發展目標(SDGs)之連結，大學社會責任實踐順應全球趨勢。 2023年明志科大與其馬來西亞姊妹校國家能源大學(Universiti Tenaga Nasional, UNITEN)合作辦理跨國SDG主題英語說故事社區服務基地型計畫，由明志科大李潔嵐國際長擔任計畫主持人，國能大學Zuraidah Ali副教授則擔任協同主持人，共同招募兩校共20名學生，計畫參與者國籍遍布台灣、馬來西亞、印度、印尼、泰國、越南、巴基斯坦，而來自大馬的同學包含該國三大族裔(馬來裔、華裔及印度裔)，在成員組成即體現了SDG17(建立多元全球夥伴關係)之精神。 計畫第一階段辦理共識營，為今年度計畫揭開序幕，邀請馬來西亞友校夥伴在5月底來台，兩校學生分組組隊參與為期3天工作坊，工作坊以聯合國永續發展目標 SDGs（Sustainable Develop Goals）為主題之英語說故事訓練。工作坊先讓參與者對於17項SDGs建立基礎概念與認知，並講述英語說故事執行技巧與注意事項，小組成員藉由對SDGs認知與經典童話故事，思考能與什麼樣的永續發展概念連結及傳達理念，繼而進行故事的改寫，最後進行小組分享。 工作坊說故事分享活動之教案設計，除了主要的SDGs主題相關故事，各小組可以發揮想像融入主題唱遊或是遊戲，藉由活潑富趣味性之活動形式促進孩童與外籍人士交流。針對參與者以SDGs17項指標組合了5組故事，包含環保議題的SDG7(負擔得起的清淨能源)、與回收議題相關的SDG12(永續的消費及生產模式)、教導小朋友保護動物的SDG14(保育海洋與海洋生態)及SDG15(保育陸域生態)，故事中亦融入貧窮(SDG1)、飢餓(SDG2)及實踐公平正義(SDG16)之內容，讓聽故事的學童了解人飢己飢、人溺己溺之觀念；說故事完了後並設計有學習單，提供參與之學童填寫，以增加對活動內容的實質認知。藉由這樣說故事分享活動，讓國小學童有機會以英語與外籍人士對話，以增進英語口說能力，也加深對故事中介紹SDGs理念的認識。 工作坊最後，在各組完成教案設計即實地參與故事分享活動，由兩位計畫主持人安排帶領學生至泰山區內鄰近小學，有泰山國小、同榮國小及義學國小，辦理了5場英語SDGs故事分享活動，總計約有130位社區學童參與；SDGs 議題融入故事中，帶著學童看見議題與不同價值觀，啟發思考自己的行為，進而可能產生改變想更多、看更遠，也能看到議題與自身的關聯，譬如消除貧窮、飢餓的議題，學童自身雖未面臨這樣的問題，但透過故事感受與理解，進而產生關懷，培養公民素養。 為進一步實踐今年度計畫之跨國元素，將於8月初由李潔嵐國際長帶領明志科大參與同學赴馬來西亞，於國能大學鄰近社區國小進行英語說故事活動，以使大學社會責任跨越國家地域，進而達成實踐國際型大學社會責任(Global Social Responsibility)。 (明志科技大學國際處網址：https://oia.mcut.edu.tw) 跨國SDG主題英語說故事社區服務基地型計畫英語故事分享參與學員與同榮國小學童合影 跨國SDG主題英語說故事社區服務基地型計畫學員在泰山國小進行英語故事分享 跨國SDG主題英語說故事社區服務基地型計畫，獲得正面肯定與迴響，兩位計畫主持人接受同榮國小廖明正校長(右二)頒發感謝狀 SDGs英語故事分享活動後檢討及參與心得分享，思考與學校在地的關聯性，觸發學員對設計課程有更多想法
