  • The pandemic has overshadowed global development, and the world faces greater challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals delineated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the United Nations. Meanwhile,  industrial restructuring requires more time in various countries as traditional industries still form a great part of the economies, while emerging and high-tech industries have not yet grown into the leading forces of economic growth. The energy mix has not been fundamentally changed. Pollution in specific industries and areas has not been properly controlled. Carbon neutrality remains a tough task, and environmental issues have weighed increasing pressure on development. Low-carbon development is inevitable, and the key to success in global competition lies in the green economy.

  • Design has a great impact on production, lifestyle, business, ecosystem, and public environment. Young designers across the globe are cordially invited to explore ways to promote the economy, industries, and society to go green. Only sustainable design can ensure the co-existence of human and nature, and build a planet where we share our future.
