The University aims to promote the widest possible environmental awareness among staff, students, their families and the community as a whole through education, campaigns and publicity. First of all, a wide range of courses is offered to educate undergraduate and postgraduate students about the environment. Scholars and guest speakers are invited from all over the world to exchange ideas and deliver speeches on environmental protection for academics and for the general public. In addition, forums and activities such as eco-tours have been organized by the University and by green student societies such as Green Post and Green World to encourage a deeper appreciation of nature among our staff and students.

The University also proactively participates in activities organized by government departments and NGOs. In conjunction with Green Peace and other local tertiary institutions, the University has committed to an increase in the use of renewable energy to make CUHK a “Solar Campus”. To spread the message of waste reduction, a team of CUHK staff and students joined the “Zero Waste Walk” of the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Festival organized by the Environmental Campaign Committee in December 2005.

The University deeply believes that only by raising environmental awareness can we ensure that our next generation will live in a better environment.

本校為加強員生、員生家人以及公眾的環保意識，籌辦了不少教育和宣傳活動。首先，我們開辦多項課程，向本科生和研究生教授環保知識。此外，又廣邀世界各地學者、嘉賓蒞臨，向教學人員和公眾人士演講，交流環保心得。校方又和中大綠色報、綠色天地等學生組織合辦論壇以及生態旅遊等活動，務求員生更能欣賞大自然。

本校還積極參與政府部門和非政府組織舉辦的環保活動，例如和綠色和平以及本地其他大專院校合作，盡量使用再生能源，務求中大校園成為「太陽能校園」。二零零五年十二月，一群中大員生參加了環保運動委員會舉辦的「零廢物」環保步行，宣揚減產廢物的訊息。

本校深信，只有提高環保意識，才可令下一代的生活環境更加美好。
