To strengthen NCKU’s sustainability governance, the former Office of Strategic Planning was reorganized on August 1, 2025, as the Office of Sustainability and Strategic Development, a first-level administrative unit. OSSD integrates university-wide sustainability strategy and internal and external resources to realize the University’s sustainable governance vision.
The reorganization demonstrates NCKU’s commitment to a sustainable campus. The University is integrating the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals into institutional planning, focusing on human values, health and well-being, net-zero emissions, innovative governance, and disaster resilience while connecting education, research, and social engagement.
Professor Rwei-Ling Yu serves as Chief Sustainability Officer. Drawing on interdisciplinary expertise and practical experience, she will shape a sustainability roadmap that combines strategic direction with human-centered care. OSSD will connect campus units and resources, strengthen sustainability education and cross-unit collaboration, and advance resilient development with international impact.
