On February 20, 2025, the challenge list for the 2025 "GoldenKey · SGCC Special" was officially announced,  marking the fourth session of the campaign.

Co-organized by State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) and China Sustainability Tribune, the 2025 campaign continues to focus on global sustainability challenges, aligning with both international and domestic hotspots and difficulties in sustainable development. In response to the high-quality growth demands of the power grid industry, this year’s event features two key tracks: "Contributing to Climate Action"  and "Engaging in Social Governance" .

Submitted solutions must highlight concrete problems, innovative solutions, and measurable impacts, serving as exemplary models for sustainable development. The best solutions will be showcased as "State Grid Solutions" and "China Solutions" on multiple platforms.
