The Global Research Group – Asia SDGs is initiated by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) with the support of WUN. The purpose of the Group is to promote, implement, study, and compile the best practices related to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The Group commits to facilitating and inspiring more in-depth and thought-provoking case studies of SDG practices in Asia.
We expect to promote more innovative and collaborative SDG practices in Asia and analyze SDG-related academic research applications and innovative praxis involving industry, government, and society. In addition, the Group works to nurture international SDG collaboration teams to cooperate with different stakeholders which in terms to realize the essence of SDG in our research and daily practices.
By providing a supportive network of scholars and researchers, we aim to build a platform for researchers from different regions to share views and exchange perspectives and eventually produce thorough and comprehensive solutions to the SDG-related problems facing Asia.
In 2021, the Global Research Group – Asia SDGs has a total of 11 collaborative SDGs research projects run by 58 researchers from 20 institutions across 11 countries, focusing on four different Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being, SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 13 Climate Action.
