ENVI Mahidol's participation reflects the Faculty's ongoing commitment to applying its expertise in environmental science and sustainability to support community development and social engagement. Through knowledge sharing and collaboration with local stakeholders, the Faculty continues to promote environmentally responsible approaches to organizing cultural events while advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level.
