Ms. Gong Wenzhu, the Founding Director of Green Light-Year

Wenzhu GONG, currently is the Youth Project Specialist of Shanghai Green Light-Year, and the Secretary of RCE Suzhou (the Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development that acknowledged by United Nations University). It is with a deep passion that she started to promote the sustainable food transition on an educational level since 2021. It was then that she met Green Light-Year, a non-profit organization focused on advancing Education for Sustainability Development (ESD), which provided her with a positive opportunity. She is committed to promoting sustainable food education in RCE Suzhou, especially through the promotion of insect protein feeds for citizens to understand and benefit from sustainable lifestyles. Green Light-Year: Green Light-Year (GLY), known as a Chinese native NGO dedicated to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), is a private non-enterprise public welfare organization officially registered in Shanghai Minhang District Civil Affairs Bureau in March 2016. In the past six years since its inception, GLY has been exploring the promotion and practicing of ESD concepts at three levels: cognition, social emotion and behavior change. We target Chinese teenagers and youth, and engage them to better understand and implement the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting green lifestyles and sustainable consumption. Within these 17 criteria, we focus on cultivating eight core qualities for young people to meet challenges in the 21st century. Our mission is to make the public enjoy practicing SDGs and to become China’s leading ESD organization.
