Taipei, Dec. 1 (CNA) A delegation of four young scholars will represent Taiwan in a global young leader forum to share experience and views on climate change.
Wang Ju-han, Chiu Hao-hsi, Lin Ssu-ying and Hsiao Wen-hsuan will participate in the Asian Young Leader Climate Forum (AYLCF) that will take place in Bogor, Indonesia from Dec. 3-10, according to an announcement by the British Council, initiator of the forum.
AYLCF offers 34 young leaders from 13 Asia-Pacific nations and the United Kingdom the opportunity to produce a regional climate action plan that will be presented to the 13th Conference of the Parties (COP 13) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to be held in Bali, Indonesia from Dec. 8-11.
"Hopefully, we can learn from participation in the forum and broaden our perspective on climate change as well as our understanding of what other countries are working on, " said Wang, a researcher at the Energy and Environment Research Laboratories of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
"Climate change is a global phenomenon. With a little contribution from everyone, we can make a huge impact, " said Lin, who is working on an environmental management master's degree in Germany.
AYLCF is organized by the World Wildlife Fund-Indonesia and the Center for International Forestry Research.
