ENVI Mahidol Joins the Opening Ceremony of Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026), Showcases Carbon Neutrality Campus Initiatives and Engages the Public in Sustainability Activities
9 November 2026 – Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, attended the opening ceremony of Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026) at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). Recognized as the largest sustainability expo in the ASEAN region, the event is being held from 6–15 November 2026 under the themes “Sufficiency for Sustainability” and “Resilience in Action.”
On this occasion, Mahidol University is participating in the exhibition, with the Carbon Neutrality Campus (CNC) Project, implemented by the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, presenting its work and activities at Booth BM4, Hall 2, G Floor. The exhibition aims to share knowledge, research, and innovations in environmental sustainability, particularly the CNC Platform, one of the Faculty’s key initiatives supporting the transition towards carbon neutrality.
The booth features a variety of interactive activities designed to encourage visitors to learn about and engage with sustainability, including:
• Eco Art Mini Workshop: An art activity featuring natural dyes, offering visitors a creative learning experience through art and natural materials. Workshops are conducted in scheduled sessions.
• Carbon Footprint Consultation: Free consultations on greenhouse gas emission reduction and carbon footprint assessment, promoting greater understanding and encouraging behavioral changes to minimize environmental impacts.
• Interactive Quiz: An engaging quiz that allows visitors to explore the carbon dioxide emissions associated with their personal travel choices, with a chance to receive exclusive, specially designed stickers available only at the event.
In addition, the SX Talk Stage will feature a session entitled “CNC Schools in Action: Innovations from Schools Towards a Sustainable Future” on Friday, 13 November 2026. The session aims to showcase sustainability concepts and innovations developed by educational institutions, while providing a platform for exchanging experiences and insights on advancing carbon neutrality initiatives at the school level.
These activities form part of the Carbon Neutrality Campus network, which focuses on exchanging knowledge and strategies, strengthening collaborative networks, and developing creative solutions to support carbon neutrality goals among higher education institutions worldwide. The initiative is also connected to the “Carbon Neutrality Campus Joint Unit,” an international collaboration between Mahidol University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). The project aims to promote academic exchange, develop knowledge and practical approaches to carbon neutrality, and support Thai educational institutions in achieving carbon neutrality and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Participation in Sustainability Expo 2026 represents an important opportunity for the Faculty to showcase its academic expertise and environmental innovations to the public, while encouraging people of all ages to engage in sustainability learning and adopt more environmentally responsible behaviors. It also provides a valuable platform for expanding collaborative networks among government agencies, the private sector, educational institutions, and civil society to collectively advance sustainable development.
