Activities at the university, such as
Climate Change
Mahidol University realized that importance and urgency of climate change impact on environment
and human well-being. This is to promote collaboration with external community to combat in the
climate change. Faculty, staff, and students are a part in driving the Sustainable Development
Goals particularly SDG 13: Climate Action, to prepare for urgent operation on climate change and its
impact.
Planting activity is to increase green space and absorb carbon dioxide such as World Environment Day activity, planting activity at Amnat Charoen Campus and Nakhon Sawan Campus.
Waste segregation aims to reduce the amount of
waste in landfills while also changing the behavior of students and staff, such as volunteers collecting
waste at
the His Majesty will Lives in Mahidol Hearts
event. Furthermore, waste separation was integrated into various university activities, such as
the Mahidol Student Life Market (Green Market).
Mahidol
University Student Relationship-Building Activity Between Campuses at the Nakhon Sawan Campus Establishment Project.
The concept for this activity is “Living an Eco-Friendly Life.” Participants must follow these guidelines:
- 1. Bring their own personal water bottle for use during the activity.
- 2. Take only enough food to eat and avoid leaving any waste.
- 3. After finishing their meal, they must wash their own dishes.
Activities outside the university, such as
Mahidol University student club activities that foster good relationships between the university and the community while allowing for cultural exchange and learning. These activities raise awareness and emphasize the importance of conserving natural resources and the environment. For example, the 'Sai Yai Gor Gerd - Birth of a Conservationist' project at Khlong Lan and the hands-on learning activity aimed at sustainable development , 'ENVI TOUR: Back to Nature - MU Exploring Urban Forests. ’ MU Volunteer Clubs like , “SUKSA Club” , “Country Club”, “MU Youth for next step” , and “Rotaract Mahidol club” engage in activities focused on social service, community studies, rural outreach, and youth leadership. These initiatives give students opportunities to learn about local cultures and lifestyles beyond the classroom, such as by improving schools and community spaces. Additionally, several projects encourage long-term environmental stewardship, such as the 'Mangrove Conservation Planting Project' and the '21st Royal Permanent Forest Plantation Project,' which aims to restore degraded mangrove forests by replanting in previously planted areas and expanding to nearby regions. These projects help prevent and address the impacts on marine and coastal natural resources.
