1. Impression of YICGG
EXPO provides a great platform for youth innovation. I am grateful to YICGG for coming to 2015 Milan EXPO, to China Corporate United Pavilion and Fudan University for their deep involvement. China’s deep involvement is one of the key factors of success of Milan EXPO.
The world is now facing a series of global issues, such as poverty, global warming, human rights, sustainable development, unemployment, etc. However, global governance still faces the problem of weak international organizations and remains on state rather than global level.
I really hope that the participants of YICGG, from all around the world, can be the core of global governance in the future.
——Mr. Enrico Letta,
Former Prime Minister of Italy
YICGG is a great opportunity for young people around the world to explore and address urgent global problems, showing their innovative spirits and entrepreneurship.
Participants have proposed various recommendations for the world, and shared ideas on investment, employment, economy,assistance and cooperation. These participants from different countries with different points of views formed a new world team randomly in the summer section competition.
Moreover, they have learned how to cooperate in teams, which impressed me most in the competition.
——Mr.Richard Boucher,
Former Vice Secretary, OECD
The reason why we choose to hold this event among young students is because it is vital to let the youth to spread the idea of global governance.
I hope the young participants of YICGG can all have such kind of consciousness. Then, in the future, when they become opereators and managers, they can treasure our world through their practice.
——Mr. Khalid Malik
Former UN Resident Coordinator in China UNDPResident Representative in China
In YICGG, the youth, as the core of the competition, constitutes the contestants, organizers, and volunteers. They are who design, participate in and deliver the actual practice. Everyone is able to seek common ground while reserving the differences, solidarity and collaboration, experiencing the whole process of global governance and the responsibility of the youth generation. We hope that this valuable trail will appeal more people to engage in global governance.
——Mr. Chen Zhimin,
The Member of CPC Fudan University Standing Committee，Vice President of Fudan University
2. An Overview of YICGG
3. Theme of YICGG2023
Global Biodiversity:
Youth Involvement and Initiatives
Biodiversity animates the planet, and humans depend on nature for survival and development. However, climate change and biodiversity decline have come to the fore in recent years, and the interplay between the two is threatening the integrity, health and sustainability of natural ecosystems. Biodiversity protection is an immediate necessity.
On the crucial issue of biodiversity for human living, the High-Level Segment of the UN Biodiversity Conference 2020 (Part 1) held in Kunming, China, in October 2021 formally adopted the Kunming Declaration, committing to ensure the development, adoption and implementation of a practical post-2020 global biodiversity framework to reverse the loss of biodiversity. At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2022, President Xi Jinping also outlined a roadmap for China's eco-environmental governance and biodiversity preservation in the coming years.
Youth play an increasingly important role in the cause of biodiversity and ecological protection. The global youth are invited to work together to make ecology a consciousness and biodiversity conservation a way of life. In light of this, YICGG2023 cordially invites young people from around the world to think of innovative solutions and propose feasible governance frameworks around the theme of biodiversity, so that we can put on a path to recovery by 2030 at the latest, towards the full realization of the 2050 Vision of Living in Harmony with Nature.
