CUHK efforts on the SDGs
SDG 7-12
CUHK is dedicated to establishing a supportive learning atmosphere that offers top-tier education and equal chances to all students. The University also strives to disseminate knowledge and pioneering concepts to the broader community. Additionally, CUHK empowers learners with expertise and competencies concerning sustainable development through education, aiming to nurture socially conscious individuals.SDG 1 No Poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Since the onset of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the wealth gap has worsened, resulting in a growing population of elderly people struggling with poverty. Grassroots families have been hit hardest by the economic downturn. CUHK is unwavering in its commitment to address poverty by conducting research, offering financial aid to students in need, and advocating for equal educational opportunities.
SDG 2 Zero Hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
The global incidence of hunger has risen significantly since the onset of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2023, around 9% of the world’s population was facing challenges related to food insecurity. This critical situation, driven by conflicts, extreme weather events, and economic turmoil, has highlighted the pressing requirement for long-term, sustainable remedies. CUHK stands out for its leadership in pushing forward studies on sustainable agriculture and food security, aiming to introduce innovative approaches to food production in the face of environmental challenges. CUHK also places great importance on sustainable procurement methods, advocating for fair trade and nurturing a community that values conscientious and sustainable food consumption practices.
SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at ages
In view of the magnitude of the public health challenges we face, it is crucial for humanity to come together with science, solutions, and solidarity. Although the covid-19 pandemic has now abated, numerous challenges have yet to be surmounted. CUHK is steadfast in its commitment to drive change by improving public health through advancements in healthcare, medical education, and research.
SDG 4 Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunity for all
SDG 5 Gender Equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
CUHK embraces diversity and inclusion and is committed to providing equitable opportunities for all students and staff, regardless of gender. The University is determined to eradicate gender discrimination and to foster an environment where everyone can thrive to their fullest capabilities. Through the establishment of committees and the implementation of relevant policies and guidelines, CUHK actively supports initiatives that champion fairness and equal access to opportunities. Our ongoing efforts aim to advance the principles of a more just and equitable society through a range of impactful initiatives.
SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Freshwater is an invaluable natural asset. It accounts for just 2.5% of the world’s total water volume, and less than 1% of this freshwater resource is readily accessible for essential purposes such as drinking. Hong Kong faces unique challenges in ensuring a sufficient water supply due to its lack of natural lakes, rivers, and extensive underground water sources. CUHK plays an important role in promoting the sustainable utilization of water resources by working towards water self-sufficiency and cultivating a culture of water conservation on its campus.
