Event Description

This year, the "Climate x" leadership training program attracted nearly 1000 young people globally, with outstanding youth from various countries forming an organizing committee to jointly organize the summit. The summit received support from UNESCO and will focus on the theme of "Climate x," mobilizing global youth to contribute to sustainable development. The summit will utilize cross-cultural, interdisciplinary academic resources and international exchange platforms to enhance the motivation, sense of mission, and leadership of outstanding climate talents, showcasing youth's responsibility to global climate leaders, policymakers, and all those concerned with climate governance.
The summit will hold four panels, each dedicated to one of the four "Climate x" themes, inviting experts from businesses or social organizations and 3-4 young innovators to engage in dialogues. These dialogues, from a youth perspective, will offer innovative solutions for business practices and guidance for young participants.
