Joining his counterparts from the University of Alberta, University of Bristol, and Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in the ‘Leadership in Education and Curriculum’ panel, Prof. Tuan emphasised the critical role of universities in addressing global sustainability challenges and CUHK’s commitment to integrating sustainable development in its curriculum and fostering a culture of social responsibility. He shared about the SDG Scheme in the University General Education Programme; the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change which has attracted over 1.3m visitors to date and trained over 100 student ambassadors; and the partnerships with the University of Exeter and QS, the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, and the Association of Commonwealth Universities for online student programmes related to the SDGs.
