Zhejiang University seeks to realize UN's sustainable goals

The BRIDGE Design Week 2021 has wrapped up in Zhejiang University, with 10 teams of students from 17 universities around the world presenting their design proposals to help achieve five of the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs): Quality Education; Decent Work and Economic Growth; Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Sustainable Cities and Communities; as well as Responsible Consumption and Productions.

Awards were given at the event, which was held in a hybrid online and offline format, with the later "Action" stage expected to bring the most promising and inspiring proposals into actual use.

The design week was the highlight of the Better Responsibility Initiative – Design for Good Earth (BRIDGE) Sustainable Design Action, co-hosted by Zhejiang University and Alibaba Design Committee as part of the university's sustainability action plan – A Global ZJU for Social Good (Z4G).
