Building an "Accessible Campus" is not only about improving facilities, but also about spiritual inclusion. We promote public understanding and support for the disabled community through disability inclusion activities and rare disease science exhibitions, so that every student can feel equality and respect. The International Day of Persons with Disabilities reminds us that true inclusion requires continuous action and care, and UNNC is committed to this, creating more possibilities for disabled students.

It is important to balance density and vitality in urban planning. Appropriate high density can improve community vitality and social cohesion. Communities are expected to play a key role in autonomy and education, enhancing people's social communication skills, and meeting consumers' personalized service needs. Cities should exhibit an attitude of equality, openness, and inclusiveness, promoting aesthetic diversity and avoiding single standards. The integration of technology and urban life has transformed the way of life. While pursuing economic prosperity, cities should also focus on sustainable development and achieve harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Supply Chain Resilience is crucial for production continuity and reliability. Enterprises often exhibit "self-interest" in various stages of the supply chain, which refers to the pursuit of maximizing their interests. Amidst the complex dynamics of globalization, deglobalization, and re-globalization, supply networks are transforming enhanced resilience and sustainability. Global enterprises need to continuously adapt to new market environments and technological trends to maintain competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities.

The "algorithmic black box" of Centralised AI is a challenge that is mainly reflected in users' concerns about the privacy and security of their personal information, the opacity of the algorithmic decision-making process, and the bias of AI results due to the bias of the training data, which can weaken the basis of user trust in AI technology. I think the only viable solution to these issues is to develop Decentralised AI and create a true 'OpenAI' while enabling contributions to sustainability.

Producing, packaging, moving, storing, delivering and other supply chain activities can be harmful to the environment. Supply chains will work harder to reduce environmental degradation. Firms can develop different types of supply chain abilities, such as technical and relational. Using a collaborative supplier network to create better outcomes. For proactive stakeholder engagement, companies must couple data-driven decision-making with traditional relationship-building.
