A number of education and publicity activities have been held for various sectors of the community. The SDPA is an initiative designed for undergraduate students.

     "The SDPA, which was first held in 2016, aims to encourage undergraduate students to plan and implement projects which can apply the concept of sustainable development in their daily lives and spread the message to the community. Awards will be given to outstanding proposals and projects that best meet the aim."
