🌍 GIZ East Asia’s Sino-German Climate Partnership supported the Club of Rome to inspire global and Chinese youth with their Survival Guide for Humanity 🌱
Prof. Peter Hennicke and Prof. Sandrine Dixson-Declève from the Club of Rome presented the Earth4All Initiative at Tsinghua University in Beijing on October 31, 2025.
This event introduced key insights from the Earth4All initiative, a global effort focused on shaping a new economic paradigm that ensures prosperity for all within planetary boundaries. Prof. Hennicke and Prof. Dixson-Decleve shared the Earth4All vision, which addresses the world's most pressing crises—poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation—through five critical turnarounds in energy, food systems, and equality.
The afternoon lecture served as an interactive discussion platform with students and professors, exploring how we can better understand and address the systemic challenges of our time. As part of the Sino-German Climate Partnership, we were honored to play a role in bringing this crucial dialogue to the next generation of climate leaders and helping to create new institutional networks.
That same day, Prof. Peter Hennicke, Prof. Bin H., and I also had the privilege of speaking at the 2025 Global Youth Summit on Net-Zero Future, where young climate leaders from around the world gathered to discuss youth empowerment, green transitions, and the future of global climate governance. Prof. Hennicke delivered the keynote speech, and I contributed to the Youth Dialogue on Green Transition & Empowerment, a collaboration under the NextGen Climate Dialogue initiative, sponsored by the International Climate Initiative (IKI).
The summit, supported by Tsinghua University and the Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC), was a powerful platform for youth to voice their perspectives on how to accelerate the green transition. I was proud to join a dynamic conversation on how we can better empower young people to take the lead in the urgent climate action needed to secure a sustainable future.
These events served as a powerful reminder of the critical role that international collaboration and youth engagement play in driving systemic change. A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers, organizers, and participants for their invaluable contributions. Together, we can create the systemic change needed to address the climate crisis.
🌏 Let’s keep the momentum going!
