(Indicator: Number of activities supporting local communities in greenhouse gas reduction and climate change adaptation. Result: 4 activities)

Results society :
1. Communities were encouraged to better understand current environmental challenges and showed greater interest and engagement in greenhouse gas reduction and climate adaptation efforts.
2. The project enhanced the University’s public image as an environmentally responsible institution while fostering the integration of sustainability awareness within educational development and outreach to local society.

Participation :
Faculty members and students from relevant programs played active roles in the project. Faculty served as lead and co-trainers, while students contributed as facilitators, recreation leaders, station coordinators, and logistical assistants (food and facilities management) under faculty supervision.

Project continuity :
Expand its outreach area for environmental awareness-building, with plans for future follow-up and impact assessment after training sessions.

Problems obstacles :
Some logistical challenges arose when venue owners modified the event locations, affecting slide-based media presentations; however, these issues were effectively resolved.

Improvement :
It is recommended that future activities incorporate more interactive presentations and games.

Suggestions :
The University should continue integrating environmental awareness and global warming issues into classroom activities across disciplines to foster broader student engagement.
