Youth encouraged to join climate change initiative

The first Chinese Youth Action on Climate Change initiative was officially launched recently at the China Meteorological Administration in Beijing.

The event was co-sponsored by the United Nations Children's Fund for China, the National Center for Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation, and the Chinese Meteorological Society. It aimed to collect cases on climate action from teenagers across the country and present them at this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference, or the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, more commonly known as COP29, which will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan.

In order to inspire more teenagers, twin brothers Arthur Li Pingsen and Carter Li Pinghang from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, were invited to the launch ceremony.
