By: Get News

The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) recently convened in Baku, Azerbaijan. On November 19, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM local time, the China Pavilion in the Blue Zone hosted a side event titled “Actively Guard against Climate Risks and Build Low-carbon and Resilient Cities.” 

This event brought together representatives from government departments, international organizations, research institutions, and cities from both China and abroad to discuss the impacts of global climate change and strategies for risk prevention. Participants shared China's experiences in climate change policies and actions, while exchanging practical outcomes in the development of low-carbon resilient cities worldwide. The attendees unanimously agreed that addressing climate change is a global challenge, and only through collaborative innovation can meaningful progress be achieved.

At the side event, Liu Hailiang, a board member of Global Youth Philanthropy, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled "The Role of Youth in Addressing Global Climate Change and Environmental Crises." He emphasized that youth represent a vital force in tackling global climate change, contributing energy and vitality to the green transition through innovative practices and cross-cultural collaboration. Global Youth Philanthropy actively responds to the UN's "Youth 2030 Strategy" and Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to unite young people worldwide, foster innovation in global governance practices, and cultivate future leaders with social responsibility and global competence. Additionally, the organization seeks to promote cross-cultural exchanges among international youth, contributing to a more beautiful and shared future for the world.

Leah Wu, a youth representative from Global Youth Philanthropy and the founder and president of Fission for the Future, delivered a speech titled “Recent Technological Developments in Nuclear Energy and Its Promising Future in Climate Change.” Leah addressed the urgent need for solutions to meet growing global energy demands while minimizing emissions. She explained how advancements such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) could make nuclear energy cleaner, safer, and more efficient.

Meanwhile, Leah Wu launched an initiative titled "Embrace Diversity of Clean Energy" at the event, calling on global youth to work together in advancing diverse clean energy development and building a sustainable future. A signature collection campaign was held on-site, receiving widespread support. Leah Wu emphasized that innovations in technology and policy can enable tailored energy solutions based on the needs of different regions, fostering a cleaner and more sustainable future together.

Alice Hu, founder of Human Rights Youth Advocacy and one of the exhibition’s lead curators, shared her plastic pollution advocacy through a video presentation. Using vivid data and examples, she urged young people to recognize the severity of global plastic pollution and take action to reduce plastic usage. Her presentation highlighted the responsibility and leadership of youth in addressing environmental challenges.

Youth representatives from Global Youth Philanthropy — Andy Zhou, Alice Hu, and Ariel Hu — curated an exhibition titled “Climate Adaptation Practices: Emergency Response, Capacity Building, and Youth Engagement.” The exhibition showcased innovative projects led by youth from around the world, demonstrating their creativity and determination in tackling climate change.

Among the featured projects, the Food Bridge App aims to reduce food waste and has already helped over 300 families. The Sustainable Style Project advocates for reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion by encouraging more sustainable consumption habits. Art for Earth, a global public art initiative, raises awareness about climate issues through exhibitions in cities such as Beijing and Vancouver. Additionally, A Bang for Action, a project featuring Eco-Friendly Fireworks Innovations, highlighted its smokeless fireworks as a creative solution to reducing air pollution while maintaining cultural traditions.

Adding to the event's depth, Celine Liu, a youth journalist from Youth Voice, reported on the conference from a young person’s perspective. Her coverage offered thoughtful observations and heartfelt appeals, urging more youth to join the global climate movement. As China’s Special Envoy for Climate Change, Liu Zhenmin, noted during the conference: “An increasing number of young people are joining the noble cause of global climate governance. They are our hope for the future. I encourage young people to continue practicing low-carbon lifestyles, demonstrating leadership, and inspiring their peers to take part in this great endeavor.” 

This year’s COP29 not only showcased the innovative practices and sense of mission displayed by youth in addressing climate change but also emphasized their vast potential to shape global climate governance. Looking ahead, Global Youth Philanthropy will continue to support and empower young people through collaboration and innovation, injecting hope and vitality into global climate action.
