The promotion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and net-zero emissions requires the cultivation of sustainable literacy, the nurturing of relevant knowledge and skills, and the implementation of technological research and development. These aspects represent the essential roles and functions of universities. Universities are not only institutions for talent development but also arenas for the practice of sustainable governance and experimental grounds for achieving net-zero emissions.
