“可持续发展目标挑战赛”作为EMF项目C.A.R.E.课程的一部分每年举办，后者是旨在培养责任与道德的课程模块。EMF项目在增强学生金融实力和专业能力的同时，一直致力于培养学生社会责任感，激励、帮助有抱负的青年领袖为未来挑战做好准备。
About Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a series of new development goals, which will continue to guide the global development work for the period from 2015 to 2030 after the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals. On September 25th, 2015, the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development was held at the headquarters in New York, 193 member states of the United Nations formally accepted 17 sustainable development goals at the summit. The sustainable development goals aim to completely solve the development problems in social, economic and environmental dimensions in a comprehensive way for the period between 2015 to 2030, shifting the world to the sustainable development path.
关于可持续发展目标
联合国可持续发展目标是在2015年到期的“千年发展目标”基础上更新的一系列发展目标，为2030年前的全球发展工作提供指导。2015年9月25日，联合国可持续发展峰会在纽约总部召开，联合国193个成员国将在峰会上正式通过17个可持续发展目标。可持续发展目标旨在从2015年到2030年间以综合方式彻底解决社会、经济和环境三个维度的发展问题，转向可持续发展道路。
The 2022 Great SDGs Challenge was set up to enhance the students’ understanding of the Global Goals and were invited to study how these goals have been implemented on a global scale, and to understand how existing social enterprises are implementing the goals across Asia Pacific. With these questions in mind, the students gathered for the online session and started their journey of learning about SDGs driven social enterprises overseas, after which they were expected to finish a relevant report as the final assignment.
本次挑战赛以“亚太社会优秀创业案例分析与国内落地对接报告”为主题。同学们首先学习了解可持续发展目标，研究它们在全球范围内的具体实施情况；进而通过对亚太地区现有社会公益组织或成功项目的调研，探索值得借鉴的成功经验；最后探讨在和国内企业或公益机构合作时可能面临的机遇和挑战。同学们齐聚“云端” ，共享这一天的探索之旅。
To give context to the final report three special guests were invited to the groundbreaking session, Mr. Jey Chan, Youth Entrepreneurship Support Coordinator of UNDP Bangkok Regional Center, Mr. Zhou Qiguang, founder of CYOT, and Mr. Chen Manyan, Vice President of ByteDance’s Feishu division gave the students rundowns on their respective projects.
4月24日9:30活动拉开序幕。国际科技与企业创新合作基金RAIDiCal 首席执行官周立玮先生应EMF项目组陈碧云老师的邀请为活动致辞。他向同学们介绍了挑战赛的历史、宗旨和今年的任务，鼓励大家积极研究可持续发展目标，为解决全球可持续发展问题做出自己的贡献。随后，活动的三位嘉宾——联合国开发计划署曼谷区域中心青年创业支援协调员Jey Chan 先生、CYOT创始人周启光先生、和字节跳动飞书产品副总裁陈满砚先生，分别就青年共创实验室(Youth Co:Lab) ，CYOT教育公益项目和飞书平台产品开发为同学们带来了主题分享。本次挑战赛邀请到了博世（BOSCH）全球新兴市场数字加速团队主管David Chu先生作为评委。
After the lunch break, more than 100 students were divided into 14 groups to deep dive into their randomly assigned SDGs. Each group were then assigned a social enterprise supported and mentored by the UNDP Co: Labs initiative in the Asia Pacific region. Students conducted group discussions, collected and organized the necessary materials, and presented their achievements on the Feishu collaborative work platform owned by Bytedance, the famous Decacorn from China. Mr. David Chu, Head of BOSCH Global Emerging Markets Digital Acceleration team were invited to give comments on the presentations. Research on topics including “providing communication services for the deaf community” “job security” “recycling” “fresh product supply chain” “public welfare school” “organic farming” “clean water and sanitation” “affordable education” “mental healthcare and wellbeing” “environmental friendly products and packaging” were presented by the teams. Problems, experiences and practices in implementing SDGS in different regions were shared in detail, and possible cooperation plans or policy suggestions were put forward based on to what extent the goals match when the organization are attaining them.
在正式比赛环节，100多位参赛同学分成14个小组，在飞书平台上就研究对象进行小组讨论、并形成最终展示报告。每个小组分配一个亚太地区的社会公益组织或项目作为研究对象，范围覆盖：保障就业、环保回收、生鲜产品供应链、公益学校、有机农业、干净的水资源和卫生、心理健康、为聋哑人提供沟通服务、环保产品与包装等各个领域。同学们分工协助，收集整合这些公益组织和项目的信息，展示亚太不同地区在落实可持续发展目标方面的问题、经验和实践，并匹配中国目前开展相似任务的机构，在合作方案或政策层面提出各自的创想。
Mentors were very impressed by the commitment of everyone in producing such high-quality work together in just one day and thought the achievement was really inspiring.
导师们纷纷表示：看到同学们在短短一天内完成了如此高质量的作品，让他们印象尤为深刻。后浪们未来可期。
Finally, a group photo marked the successful conclusion of this year’s challenge. By launching this challenge every year, the EMF program hopes to support the teaching of United Nations SDGs by connecting social forces through global cooperation and tangible deliverables. The EMF program also hopes that the annual challenge will provides international opportunities for students to study, research and implement these goals, and continue to publicize the value of sustainable development to building a more resilient planet.
活动尾声，大家在”云端”合影，纪念此次挑战赛活动圆满落幕。EMF项目希望通过第二届“可持续发展目标挑战赛”的举办，继续开放合作，链接社会力量，助力持续发展目标的教学，让更多青年参与到可持续发展目标的实践中来，也期待一年一度的挑战赛能成为同学们研究、实践、并持续向社会输出可持续发展价值的国际化平台。

Comments From Mentors

“The objective of the annual Great SDGs Challenge with the EMF student is to ensure that they see the actionable nature of the Global Goals. The learning exercise shouldn’t just be the basic learnings about the SDGs, turning the time spent into real actions is also important. So, this year we designed the course to give a relevant report about social enterprises from the Asia-Pacific as part of the UNDP Co: Labs startups mentorship and incubation initiative. The students were able to connect the dots to look at potential cross-border cooperation between organizations with the same SDGs. It’s this type of action driven objectives that will help us to advance and fulfill the SDGs on more tangible basis. We need to come together as key stakeholders and reach agreement on the learnings of SDGs so that we can work together to reach the 2030 timeline. “
“EMF一年一度可持续发展目标挑战活动的目标是为了让同学们看到这些全球目标的可操作性。不仅学习可持续发展目标的理论，更让学生深入研究将理论转化为实际行动。今年我们设计的内容作为UNDP Co:Labs初创企业指导和孵化计划的一部分，让学生们调查研究具有相同可持续发展目标重点的组织之间潜在的跨境合作。这将有助于推动和连接全球可持续发展目标的发展。我们需要就可持续发展目标的部署达成共识，为了同一个目标奋斗。”

“When Mr. Allan Chou invited me to speak as a guest for this event, I was elated. The theme of the program, Social Entrepreneurship in Asia-Pacific and SDG Solutions, is also one of the key focus of Youth Co: Lab, an initiative co-led by the UNDP and Citi Foundation. Over the last few years, we have supported thousands of social enterprises across Asia-Pacific and most of them have something in common. They are run by young people who want to make a positive impact on their community and the planet, young people like you.
We can only achieve the SDGs through the concerted efforts of the individuals, civil society, private sectors and the government. As you are elite students of Fudan University, I hope that you will feel inspired by the program and the white paper to bring these ideas into your own community or better yet, set you on the path to creating your very own SDG solutions in China.”
“收到作为此次活动的特邀演讲人的邀请时，我非常高兴。该项目的主题‘亚太社会创业与可持续发展目标解决方案’也是联合国开发计划署和花旗基金会共同领导的‘青年合作实验室’的重点之一。在过去的几年里，我们支持了亚太地区数以千计的社会企业，其中大多数都有一个共同的特点——它们的经营者都是想要对社区和地球产生积极影响的年轻人，像你们这样的年轻人。
只有通过个人、民间社会、私营部门和政府的共同努力，我们才能实现可持续发展目标。作为优秀的大学生，我希望你们能从这个项目和白皮书中得到启发，把这些想法带到你们自己的社区，最好能帮你们找到在中国通往可持续发展目标的道路。”

It is exciting to see how SDGs are being pursued in both private and public sectors and how entrepreneurs are tackling a wide range of pressing societal challenges including environmental sustainability, gender equality, health & well-being, and responsible consumption.
Last but not least, I am very delighted to have contributed to empowering our next-generation young leaders who are responsible to ideate, collaborate and share their ideas on the Feishu platform. I look forward to seeing more social projects come to fruition from this program. Congratulations on the success of the event!”

看到私营和公共部门如何实现可持续发展目标，社会企业家如何应对从环境可持续性到性别平等、健康和福祉以及负责任消费等一系列紧迫的社会挑战，令人兴奋。
最后，我很高兴能够在“飞书”平台上为下一代的年轻领袖们构思、合作和分享他们的想法做出贡献。我期待看到更多的社会项目在这个课程中取得成果。祝贺活动圆满成功!”

“It is refreshing and encouraging to see the commitment of the project teams in proposing the concept of matching unique social enterprises across the region to mutually shared sustainable development goals. The proposals to achieve potential synergies across different organizations are a great initiative to encourage partnerships across the global community and continue the mission to uplift us socially, economically, and sustainably.”
“令人耳目一新和倍受鼓舞的是：各个学生团队致力于将整个地区独特的社会企业与相互共享的可持续发展目标相匹配的概念。释放不同组织之间潜在协同效应的提议是一项伟大的举措，旨在鼓励全球社会的伙伴关系，并继续履行提升社会，经济和可持续的使命。”
