BEIJING, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Climate change is the greatest threat of our time. Scorching temperatures,
rising sea levels and deadly storms are becoming increasingly common as the
world grapples with its impact.
China Media Group (CMG) is launching a special event to highlight the perils of
the climate crisis with an in-depth look at the unfolding catastrophe, the race
against time to find new ideas and solutions, and the role of global leaders as
well as today's youth.
Day One will focus on the big picture. We'll examine the impact of climate
change and highlight China's targets to address climate change and its actions
to achieve green growth with a multilateral approach.
Shen Haixiong, the president of CMG, will deliver a kick-off speech and is
expected to stress the importance of the media's role in responding to climate
change. Qin Gang, Chinese Ambassador to the US, will answer questions on
climate change and the need for Sino-U.S. cooperation.
Day One will also feature keynote speeches from global leaders including the
President of Sierra Leone urging the world to embrace a multilateral approach
to finding solutions. Iceland's Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir will lay out
her country's success in slashing greenhouse gas emissions.
We will also hear from the environment ministers of Ecuador and Egypt, senior
officials from the IMF, the World Bank, United Nations and other international
organizations.
Over the next five days, the "GAI 2021" will discuss the current status and
challenges of the global response to climate change in five specific areas,
including "the actual impact of climate change on the global environment," "the
importance of biodiversity," "media's responsibility", "individuals actions"
and "young people's responsibilities and roles."
As part of our event, we will premiere the five-episode climate documentary
series - "Zero Hour", examining the impact of the climate crisis across the
world. We'll hear from young people who are putting forward ideas and solutions
to mitigate the effects of climate change.
For five days, a documentary episode will follow the special program on a daily
basis. Day One will feature "Climate Change in China", highlighting the efforts
by China to become carbon neutral in less than 40 years. We will also showcase
innovations and creative solutions featuring Chinese students around the world
who are developing new methods to green deserts, tackle drought and bridge
governments and cultures.
