國立中山大學於2025年4月28日響應OSUN（開放社會大學網絡）全球「氣候與正義教學行動」（Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice），在校園菩提樹下舉行以「我們的氣候、我們的未來」為主題的系列活動，與全球超過61國、300多所高等教育機構同步舉辦，展現氣候行動的在地實踐與國際連結。

本次活動由學生主導，邀集來自海洋科學、環工、數學、人文、音樂與商管等多元領域的師生共同參與，透過圓桌論壇形式引發深入對話與實作。活動內容涵蓋從能源使用、藍碳生態、氣候正義，到AI農業應用、碳交易制度及日常減碳策略等議題，反映氣候變遷不僅是科學問題，更與經濟、社會、文化息息相關。其中，學生自製的一款氣候桌遊吸引眾人目光，以趣味方式模擬日常能源選擇對環境的影響，成功將複雜議題轉化為具體可感的學習體驗。

在藍碳保育議題上，與會者深入探討紅樹林與海草床等生態系統在碳吸存上的潛力與重要性；而針對氣候正義，學生則提出政策應更重視弱勢社群在氣候風險中的高度曝險，主張公平與包容應作為應對策略的核心。科技應用部分，學生展示AI於農業場域中的永續應用，如自動化灌溉與精準施藥等技術，突顯智慧農業在減碳與資源效率上的可能性。

現場設置的「氣候承諾布條」成為活動亮點，所有參與者紛紛簽名，象徵將個人行動轉化為集體承諾。活動最後舉行小型頒獎儀式，肯定學生團隊的籌備努力與創新貢獻。來自國立科學工藝博物館的氣候展覽專業人員亦受邀參與，與學生進行深度交流，共同探討如何透過展覽與教育推廣氣候科學。本次活動不僅展現學生領導力與跨領域協作精神，更彰顯中山大學致力於將氣候教育納入主流學術與公共對話的長期使命，凝聚校園與社群力量，持續推動實質氣候行動，培育未來的永續領導者。

Under the shade of the iconic Bodhi Tree, National Sun Yat-sen University hosted the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice under the theme “Our Climate, Our Future” on April 28, 2025, joining more than 300 institutions across 61 countries in this year’s OSUN(Open Society University Network) global initiative.

More than just a campus event, the student-led teach-ins at NSYSU represented a powerful intersection of science, social equity, and innovation. Supported by interdisciplinary faculties from marine science to humanities, the event was vibrant with thought-provoking dialogue and a shared sense of urgency.

The event program featured six table-panel topics to engage the audience in discussing solutions and action-driven projects to combat the climate crisis. One panel unveiled an original board game that uses cards to demonstrate how everyday energy decisions can mitigate or exacerbate environmental harm. Another highlighted Taiwan’s blue carbon ecosystems—mangrove forests and seagrass meadows—underscoring their indispensable role in natural carbon sequestration and the broader fight against climate change. A third collective examined climate justice, detailing how economically vulnerable and marginalized communities disproportionately bear the impacts of global warming, and called for policy responses that prioritize fairness and inclusiveness. In a showcase of technological innovation, one table-panel demonstrated the application of artificial intelligence in agriculture, optimizing pesticide usage and automating irrigation and lighting systems to conserve energy. Practical counsel on reducing individual carbon footprints rounded out the presentations, with recommendations ranging from curbing fast-fashion consumption to selecting eco-friendly products. Finally, a team demystified the carbon trading market, explaining how companies purchase and sell emissions allowances and exploring the challenges inherent in market-based climate policies.

A highlight of the event was the Climate Pledge Banner, a visual commitment signed by all participants and audience members, signifying one’s actual involvement in the process of empowering climate leadership through interdisciplinary action. The pledge underscored the participants’ commitment to climate responsibility in the communities. This shared commitment marked a powerful step toward fostering climate leadership and building a just, sustainable future for people and the planet. The participating students received praise through a small certificate distribution ceremony, which concluded the event.

Museum practitioners specializing in climate exhibitions from the National Science and Technology Museum also attended, engaging in fruitful discussions with students and enriching the exchange of ideas on how best to communicate climate science to the public. Faculty colleagues who joined the events included Yuh-Yuh Li (Si Wan College), Jephian C.H. Lin (Mathematics), Somnath Kale (Engineering), Shivani Shirke (Environmental Engineering), Yu-Chieh Lao (Business Management), Leols Lee (Music), Guan Wen Lin (Marine Engineering), Foo Xue Ling (Marine Engineering), and Chi-I Lin (Center for General Education).

This event not only highlighted student leadership and interdisciplinary collaboration but also reinforced NSYSU’s ongoing mission to integrate climate education into mainstream academic and public discourse.

Together, the NSYSU community and its partners continue to drive the conversation toward climate solutions, empowering the next generation of change-makers.

Climate Pledge

“I pledge to protect our planet and act for a just, sustainable future. I will reduce my carbon footprint by making climate-friendly choices in my daily life through the food I eat, the way I travel, the energy I use, and the things I buy. I will raise awareness, support climate education, and inspire others to join me in taking meaningful action. Together, we can create a world where people and nature thrive.”
