CBCGDF presented a Certificate to the youth delegate, to thank her dedication during the on-site participation in the Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals in Geneva

 

On September 15, 2023, CBCGDF presented a special certificate (CBCGDF [2023] Ref G168) to the youth members of the delegation to thank them for their contribution and dedication during the on-site participation in the Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals in Geneva, Switzerland, representing the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF).

 

Mining plays an important role in sustainable development, however, the pursuit of economic development needs to be accompanied by the need to address the environmental crises that are currently being faced, namely climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation. The Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals was an important international event, organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held in Geneva on September 7-8, 2023, which aimed to promote the sustainable management and development of global mineral and metal resources. Throughout the conference, CBCGDF youth representatives actively participated in the international dialog and actively shared good stories from China, all of which are commendable. This certificate read, "Thank you for your dedication and efforts."

 

The young generation are the future main force of global environmental governance. China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has long regarded the cultivation of young talents as one of its core areas of work. Initiatives include, but are not limited to, building a global volunteer network of young talents, recommending experts to serve in international organizations in an eclectic manner, actively participating in important global governance platforms and making China's voice heard, recommending Chinese scientists to run for leadership positions in international organizations, and organizing a long-term workshop on capacity-building for global environmental governance, among other things. The opening of delegation slots for young delegates to participate in international conferences is one of these efforts.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
