This study, titled “Sustainable Systems Education & Social Innovation with AI Empowered Digital Platform: A Case Study from Taiwan Chapter,” explores the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), systems thinking, and artificial intelligence to advance the real world project implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By utilizing system dynamics modeling, scenario simulation, and case-based analysis, the research proposes a strategic framework that links policy indicators, educational intervention, and integrated governance. Two demonstration cases are highlighted: the Nan’an Organic Farmland, which exemplifies green economy practices and local revitalization, and Yushan National Park, which serves as a sustainable education hub integrating Indigenous knowledge, outdoor learning, and digital platforms. The study also introduces an AI-empowered scenario planning tool designed to support interdisciplinary K-12 education, project-based learning, and systems thinking skill development. The research results suggest that when knowledge capital, human capital, and local capital is forming a reinforcing feedback loop, they collectively foster long-term sustainability, educational innovation, and regional development. The proposed model provides actionable strategies and system-based insights applicable to diverse global contexts seeking educational and social transformation for sustainable development.
