SDG 7.4.1 Local community outreach for energy efficiency
Through both government-funded and self-funded efforts, NCUE carries out sustained programs to raise awareness of the importance of energy efficiency and clean energy among residents in the local community and students in neighboring schools, while implementing energy-saving and carbon-saving programs.
1. On April 13 and 16 2022, in response to the “In-Depth Cultivation of Fangyuan, Working Hand in Hand with Dacheng: Industrial and Environmental Sustainability Plan of the Two Townships of Changhua County,” a program promoted by the Ministry of Education, NCUE organized activities covering the learning and development of home appliance maintenance, attracting a total of 239 participants.
