| Abstract: | The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global plan to fight poverty, to establish equality and justice, and to achieve sustainable development for all countries. To enhance graduate's global competitiveness, the Chinese University of Hong Kong has been promoting the wide understanding of the SDGs within the university community. In 2021, the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library (CUHK Library) launched its Strategic Plan 2021–2025 to align with the University's Strategic Plan 2021–2025 in education, research and Innovation, resources, global and alumni engagement, and infrastructure. CUHK Library embraces social responsibility and sustainable development when upgrading its infrastructure to support the University developments. In this paper, the authors review the strategic implementation of SDGs in CUHK Library and conclude that academic library can contribute to the global plan for sustainable development. The findings in this paper can contribute to the discussions of SDGs in academic libraries from regional as well as international perspectives. |
