From awareness to action: The new faces of environmental advocacy

Recently, in a green courtyard in Beijing, a party themed "What Does Climate Change Have to Do with Me?" gathered dozens of youths passionate about environmental issues.

In the traditional building, an AIGC interactive test on public climate advocacy sparked lively discussions. Based on users' answers to personal preference questions, the test generated a personalized and detailed analysis of their careers in a doomsday scenario caused by environmental degradation.

With its futuristic art style and concept, the test attracted over 10,000 users to create posters, according to the developer, Guokr.com. This initiative aims to offer a creative way for the public to engage in discussions about climate change.

As the conversation shifted to people's attitudes toward climate change, Liu Siming, a high school student from Beijing National Day School, shared his optimism. "I believe that with the support of AI technology and collective efforts, our planet will have a brighter and more sustainable future," he said.

This post-00s student is also an amateur skier, which has led him to focus on environmental protection in the ski industry. "While the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics set a commendable example in green and low-carbon practices, I've noticed that environmental challenges persist in China's ski equipment market and at some ski resorts," Liu noted. In pursuit of solutions to the environmental impact of artificial snow and fluorinated wax, he sought help from the Linglong Project.
