“Roaring young force in climate fight.”
There are multitude of ways to tell a climate story. Correspondent Gaby from China Daily collects authentic views and anecdotes from diverse youth climate advocates to capture the growing momentum of the climate movement in Hong Kong.
From international UN COP conferences, to marine conservation research and Antarctic climate expedition, the common thread is we all aspire to build a more sustainable and resilient community for the well-being of all species.
Follow the journeys of Carly Leung, Ryan Yip and many other youth climate advocates, we need your support to create a wider coalition, amplifying positive change.
Thank you Gaby Lin, Anisha Bhaduri and Tareq Zahir from China Daily for shedding light on our movement with the voice of media.

Irked by the severity of climate change, Chung boarded a ship to Antarctica, hoping to seek some solutions to the problem. In February, she joined about 110 scientists, activists and policymakers from across the globe on a two-week-long expedition to the icy continent.
During the journey, eight climate resolutions were adopted, including one to protect marine ecosystems through a three-dimensional approach.
