氣候變遷、全球暖化是這個時代與世代最重要的議題之一。在這場關乎地球未來的戰役中，教育機構的角色至關重要。為了加深教職員生、鄰近區域的企業及社會大眾對氣候變遷議題的認識，國立東華大學徐輝明校長責成永續發展中心籌備處，邀請南華大學永續中心洪耀明執行長舉辦兩場次免費實體暨線上視訊的工作坊。工作坊共吸引了59人次舊雨新知的參與者，包括東華教職員生、企業代表及社會各界人士。活動中，與會者不僅瞭解溫室氣體、盤查重要性、作業程序，亦更加明白南華大學在能源管理和溫室氣體盤查方面的經驗與成果。
南華大學作為承諾碳中和目標的先驅者，於2015年通過ISO 50001能源管理系統、2018年通過ISO 14064溫室氣體查驗標準，並積極推動各項具體減碳措施。此次工作坊中，洪執行長向與會者介紹南華大學團隊所建置的“Natural Zero”碳中和平台，並邀請國立東華大學成為平台夥伴，共同推動校園溫室氣體盤查。在校長徐輝明的大力支持下，國立東華大學將於本年進行初次基礎溫室氣體盤查，並歡迎教職員生一同參與。
國立東華大學的積極參與不僅是對永續發展的堅定承諾，更是對未來世代的負責任。我們期待通過這些努力，為建設更美好的環境貢獻我們的一份力量。
Climate change and global warming are among the most critical issues of our time and generations. In this battle concerning the future of our planet, the role of educational institutions is paramount. To deepen the understanding of climate change among faculty and students of National Dong Hwa University, nearby businesses, and the general public, President Hui-Mi Hsu has instructed the Provisional Center for Sustainability Development to organize two sessions of free physical and online workshops, with an invitation extended to the Director of Center for Sustainability at Nanhua University, Yao-Ming Hong. The workshops attracted a total of 59 participants, including faculty and students from NDHU, representatives from businesses, and members of various societal sectors. During the event, participants not only gained insights into greenhouse gases, the importance of assessments, and operational procedures but also became more aware of Nanhua University’s experiences and achievements in energy management and greenhouse gas assessments.
As a pioneer committed to carbon neutrality, Nanhua University obtained ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification in 2015 and ISO 14064 greenhouse gas verification standard certification in 2018, actively promoting various specific carbon reduction measures. During this workshop, Director Hong introduced the “Natural Zero” carbon neutrality platform developed by Nanhua University’s team to participants and invited NDHU to become a platform partner to jointly promote campus greenhouse gas assessments. With the strong support of President Hui-Mi Hsu, National Dong Hwa University will conduct its first foundational greenhouse gas assessment this year and welcomes faculty and students to participate.
The active participation of National Dong Hwa University is not only a firm commitment to sustainable development but also a responsibility to future generations. We look forward to contributing our efforts to the construction of a better environment through these endeavors.
