暨大校長武東星說明，在環境永續方面，暨大持續推動能源轉型與碳減量，截至去（2024）年已建置8640 kWp太陽能光電設備，年發電量達14739 GJ，占全校用電量約33.8％，相當於減少165.8公噸二氧化碳排放。
武東星說，永續是世代共榮的責任，透過亞太永續博覽會的平台，暨大希望將南投埔里的經驗推向國際，分享如何透過學術研究與社會行動推動永續，暨大並將持續以STEAM模組、USR行動與產學合作為核心，結合在地資源與國際趨勢，目標在2043年達成校園淨零，讓大學成為連結地方與世界的橋梁，並在教育、環境與產業發展中引領未來。
NCNU President Wu Tung-Hsing explained that, in terms of environmental sustainability, National Chi Nan International University (NCNU) has continued to promote energy transition and carbon reduction initiatives. As of 2024, the university had installed solar photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 8,640 kWp, generating 14,739 GJ of electricity annually. This accounts for approximately 33.8% of the university’s total electricity consumption and is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 165.8 metric tons.
President Wu emphasized that sustainability is a shared responsibility across generations. Through the platform provided by the Asia-Pacific Sustainability Expo, NCNU hopes to bring the experiences of Puli, Nantou, to the international stage and share how academic research and social engagement can contribute to sustainable development.
Moving forward, NCNU will continue to focus on STEAM-based learning modules, University Social Responsibility (USR) initiatives, and university–industry collaboration. By integrating local resources with international trends, the university aims to achieve campus-wide net-zero emissions by 2043, positioning itself as a bridge connecting local communities with the world and taking a leading role in shaping the future of education, the environment, and industrial development.
