发表欢迎致辞
本次会议由RCE宁波与RCE杭州联合主办。作为RCE宁波的落地单位,宁诺负责RCE宁波的日常运营,为本次会议提供核心学术支撑与组织保障。
从宣言到行动:共识定纲,框架开路
2025年,全球RCE大会发布《冈山宣言》,侧重原则与方向指引。在此共识基础上,《浙江倡议》以《可持续发展教育柏林宣言》(2021)、"ESD for 2030"框架和《RCE共同体2021-2030路线图》为行动指引,聚焦联合国可持续发展目标第17条“促进目标实现的伙伴关系”,创新提出CliMATE,为实现联合国可持续发展目标及开启未来ESD对话的具体行动提供了框架。
具体而言,CliMATE中的“Cli”是合作、学习、创新的英文首字母缩写,明确了RCE及合作伙伴应以跨界、互助的方式创新开展工作协同;MATE则是四个面向外部的行动支柱——动员多方主体共建协作项目管道、激活全链条责任、以技术赋能绿色转型以及赋能气候韧性社区发展。

在此框架下,倡议进一步提出了构建包容性ESD多利益相关方伙伴关系、让青年成为ESD路径的共同创造者、推动地方智慧对话科学、发展绿色技能和负责任商业、推动负责任数字化ESD和区域学习共同体五个领域,作为开展下一阶段工作的优先行动目标。
宁波诺丁汉大学可持续运营与技术管理首席教授、RCE宁波主任戴菁教授是本次倡议的主笔人之一,她说:“《浙江倡议》把亚太各地区分散的实践、经验和承诺凝聚成一份可落地、可协同、可追踪的行动指南,以系统性的协作机制引领亚太地区开展下一阶段工作,为加速联合国可持续发展目标的落地注入行动力。”
从浙江到亚太:
“双山”引路,高校架桥
为什么以浙江之名发起倡议?又为何把发布地点定在宁波诺丁汉大学?
20多年前,时任浙江省委书记习近平同志在考察调研中,首次提出“绿水青山就是金山银山”的理念。沿着这份指引,浙江通过系统性制度创新与改革实践,率先建成全国首个生态省,在产业升级、能源转型、体制创新等方面取得了一系列成果。
正因如此,浙江天然具备将可持续发展理念转化为社会共识和制度行动的深厚基础。
这里不仅有"两山"理念发源的历史纵深,更具备丰富而务实的经验与实践,是亚太区域在推进可持续发展目标过程中互鉴共享的宝贵资源。

而宁波诺丁汉大学正是连接地方与全球的一座“桥”。
近年来,宁波诺丁汉大学通过科研、教学、校园运营以及社会参与,与当地和全球伙伴密切合作,共同推动可持续发展。学者出任联合国关键岗位、为联合国契约组织编写报告、“青年可持续行动赋能计划”入选联合国大学旗舰项目、发布全国首个制造业ESG评估团体标准、开设国际公共政策文学硕士专业……
通过积极拓展“本土智慧”与“全球方案”之间的互通路径,宁波诺丁汉大学持续将地方实践转变为普惠全球的公共价值,同时又将国际先进标准框架和前沿知识体系带回中国,成为企业能用、学生能学的资源,在“宁诺桥”上铺设了一条“双向车道”。
活动现场,中外各方见证了《浙江倡议》的发布。联合国大学可持续发展高等研究所主任Shinobu Yume Yamaguchi教授,浙江省科普联合会会长、十二届浙江省政协副主席周国辉,宁波市政协副主席陈为能,浙江国际大学教育部注册德语研究中心主任、RCE杭州主任吴卫东教授,宁波诺丁汉大学执行校长乔纳森·加里波第教授,诺丁汉大学商学院(中国)院长邝国威教授,以及宁波诺丁汉大学可持续运营与技术管理首席教授、RCE宁波主任戴菁教授参与《浙江倡议》启动仪式。
从冈山到浙江,从宣言到行动,《浙江倡议》的发布开启了亚太可持续发展“进行时”——根据倡议建立的十二个月跟进机制,各区域RCE将围绕CliMATE框架推进具体项目,并在下一届亚太RCE区域会议进行回顾。
其中,RCE 宁波将聚焦负责任商业与 ESG 领导力,依托其在 ESG、绿色创新与可持续商业教育方面的能力优势,通过教育、研究和伙伴协作等多种形式开展可持续发展教育,推动相关理念与实践在企业、产业链和城市层面落地。
Zhejiang Initiative launched at UNNC to turn Asia-Pacific sustainability ambitions into action
The Zhejiang Initiative: From Okayama to Zhejiang –Ecological Civilisation in Dialogue, CliMATE in Action was launched at the 17th Asia-Pacific Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCE) Conference, held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) from 26 to 28 October. Jointly organised by RCE Ningbo and RCE Hangzhou, the conference brought together nearly 100 representatives of international organisations, regional and government bodies, and academic institutions from more than 10 countries and regions at UNNC to advance regional cooperation on sustainable development.
Developed with significant contributions from UNNC, the Zhejiang Initiative marks an important step in translating shared sustainability ambitions into coordinated, practical action. Building on the 2025 Okayama Declaration, it introduces the innovative CliMATE framework to help RCEs across the Asia-Pacific accelerate progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 17, Partnerships for the Goals.
“The Zhejiang Initiative aims to unite diverse stakeholders across the Asia-Pacific and provide strategic guidance for the future collective work of the regional RCE network,” said Professor Shinobu Yume Yamaguchi, Director of the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS).
As one of the principal drafters of the initiative, Professor Jing Dai said: “The Zhejiang Initiative brings together diverse practices, experiences and commitments from across the Asia-Pacific into an actionable, coordinated and trackable framework. Through a systematic approach to collaboration, it provides strategic direction for the region’s next phase of work and injects fresh momentum into accelerating progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”
The CliMATE framework provides a practical approach to collaboration, learning and innovation, alongside four pillars of action: mobilising stakeholders to develop collaborative projects, strengthening accountability throughout value chains, using technology to enable the green transition, and empowering climate-resilient communities. The initiative also identifies five priorities: building inclusive partnerships for education for sustainable development (ESD), empowering young people as co-creators of ESD pathways, connecting local knowledge with scientific expertise, developing green skills and responsible business practices, and advancing responsible digital ESD and regional learning communities.
Zhejiang was chosen for its distinctive experience in translating sustainability principles into practical action. The province is the birthplace of the concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” and has pioneered initiatives in ecological governance, rural revitalisation and low-carbon development. Its experience offers valuable lessons for regional cooperation and the pursuit of the SDGs.
As a university connecting local expertise with global perspectives, UNNC has contributed to sustainable development through research, education, campus operations and community engagement. Its work includes contributions to the UN Global Compact, a youth sustainability initiative selected as a United Nations University flagship project, and the development of China’s first group standard for ESG assessment in the manufacturing sector. Through these efforts, the University helps translate international knowledge and standards into practical resources for businesses and students, while sharing local experience with the wider world.
The initiative will be supported by a 12-month follow-up mechanism, under which RCEs across the Asia-Pacific will develop projects guided by the CliMATE framework and review progress at the next regional RCE conference. RCE Ningbo will focus on responsible business and ESG leadership, drawing on its manufacturing ESG assessment standards and digital platform to promote sustainable supply chain management at both enterprise and city levels.
From the Okayama Declaration to the Zhejiang Initiative, this transition from shared principles to coordinated implementation reflects UNNC’s commitment to connecting local innovation with global challenges and advancing a more sustainable future through international collaboration.
