NCKU 2030

MENU

Background

While extreme poverty has eased considerably since 1990, pockets of the worst forms of poverty persist. Ending poverty requires universal social protection systems aimed at safeguarding all individuals throughout the life cycle. It also requires targeted measures to reduce vulnerability to disasters and to address specific underserved geographic areas within each country.

Mapping Outcome of NCKU

The research resources available in the colleges of NCKU indicate that the College of Medicine and College of Social Science stand out for the achievement of No Poverty (SDG 1) today. In the future, the top three keywords for the Goal, Environment, Class and Quality of Life, shall be the guides for other colleges to channel their research energy to the improvement of the SDG practices.
