Published：26/10/2023
With less than seven years to deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developing countries are facing the challenge of balancing infrastructure and economic growth with environmental safeguards. Rapid urbanization development and population increasing also requires international development initiatives including the Belt and Road Initiative to take the triple planetary crisis into consideration.
Sustainable development must be based on sound knowledge and solid science, and so higher education and research institutes are indispensable in this process. In 2018, Tongji University initiated the Alliance of Environment Deans and launched the Dean’s Forum of Environment Schools, aiming at forging a joint research network which could provide support and policy recommendations for green development, as well as sharing knowledge, data, and analysis, through South-South Cooperation, including the Belt and Road initiative. Since its inception, 63 universities from 34 countries collaborated with fruitful exchange and cooperation activities.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, Tongji University is intended to host the Third Dean’s Forum of Environment Schools will be held on November 27 (online). The Forum will discuss Resource Recycle and Low-Carbon Development for Belt and Road initiative as well as to exchange experienced views on related academic, technical, and policy aspects.
