Sustainable Environmental Education Center Introduction
In light of global warming, climate change, and the importance of energy conservation and carbon reduction, which have become common concerns worldwide and are key policies of nations, the urgency and significance of environmental education rooted from an early age is deeply felt. In 2007, the Education Bureau of New Taipei City started to prepare for the "New Taipei City Sustainable Environmental Education Center," which officially opened on January 19, 2008, serving as a hub for the long-term promotion of sustainable environmental education, conservation, and research in New Taipei City. Located at "Wazaiwei" in New Taipei City, near the ferry terminal in Bali and within a natural reserve area, this center was formerly the 'Bali Left Bank Conference Center.' It now collaborates with academic organizations to integrate environmental education into school curricula, providing students with practical educational materials for environmental studies. The center promotes environmental education through collaboration with various elementary and middle schools in New Taipei City, focusing on sustainable campuses, wetland ecology, low-carbon schools, marine environments, and ecological circulation. It aims to guide students to implement energy conservation and carbon reduction in their daily lives, thereby bringing environmental awareness into their families and fostering a consensus for environmental protection among the public.
