This program was launched in 2023 and has already held three sessions. It is organized by the Regional Innovation Center and co-organized by the student group "Tsinghua Green Point."

The core goal of this program is to promote sustainable development within Tsinghua University, strengthen collaboration between students and administrative, academic departments, and enhance students' understanding and practical skills regarding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program aims to drive sustainability issues on campus through students' initiative, positive influence, and diverse inclusivity, improve the sustainability actions of administrative and academic units, and extend its impact to the societal level.
