課程概述

森林提供人類食物、水、能源、生物多樣性等多項重要服務，是永續發展的重要基礎。森林永續經營是兼顧經濟、社會、環境三個面向的經營方式，有助於達成SDGs中的多項目標，例如消除貧窮、消除飢餓、保護海洋生態、應對氣候變遷等。本課程從聯合國永續發展目標(SDGs)出發，探索森林經營與各項目標之間的關聯性，讓學生了解森林在永續發展中扮演的重要角色，理解森林與SDGs的關係，並且具備實踐永續發展的相關知識與技能。

Forests provide humans with food, water, energy, biological diversity and many other important services, forming an essential foundation for sustainable development. Sustainable forest management considers economic, social, and environmental aspects jointly, and can help to achieve many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as eliminating poverty and hunger, protecting ocean ecosystems, and coping with climate change. This course aims to explore the relationship between forest management and the SDGs. It helps students understand the important role of forests in sustainable development; comprehend their connections; and acquire relevant knowledge and skills for practicing sustainability.
