Fight Climate Change

This past July, the Earth experienced the hottest temperatures on record for four consecutive days. At the same time, countries around the world continue to be affected by extreme weather and abnormal disasters, whether it is the storms that affected multiple states in the United States at the beginning of the year, the ongoing heat waves in the Mediterranean, or the rain and floods in Asia. The increasingly frequent disasters have a tangible impact on people's daily lives around the world. In recent months, we in Hong Kong have also experienced the need to respond to coping with the extreme hot weather.

Following the establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund at COP27 last year, the international community is looking forward to further boil down to appropriate and timely assistance to these affected regions and people. At the same time, in LCOYs organized by young people in many countries, attention is also focused on reviewing the effort of carbon reduction and energy use, in preparation for the Global Stocktaking of the upcoming COP28.

The theme of LCOY 2023 is "Youth for a Livable City". It hopes to build capacity among young people to better understand the relationship between climate change and our city, and to co-create a climate resilient place of living. There will be series of interactive workshops, seminars, climate related games, and discussion sections in LCOY. It hopes to strengthen networks among young people as well as inspire the determination to continuous climate actions, in preparation for COP 28 at the end of the year.
