Yesterday, on a beautiful day of spring, I spoke at the 50th Anniversary Conference of the Environmental Discipline of Peking University 🇨🇳. A spectacular world 🌎 class institution of scholarship & research, this university is combination of tradition and modernity. Peking University epitomizes the foundation that has unlocked great human capital in China 🇨🇳 and the world. Congratulations 👏 on the landmark milestone of major breakthroughs in the fields of environmental protection & biodiversity #ForPeopleForPlanet. I was particularly inspired by the remarkable career of Professor Tang Xiaoyan, a 91-year-old female scientist who lay the groundwork for Chinese environmental education & research. @UNinChina 🇺🇳🇨🇳 will continue to work with Chinese Government and academia to scale up national efforts to peak carbon emissions by 2030 & carbon neutrality by 2060. Thank you 🙏 Party Secretary Hao Ping & Dean Zhu Tong for your leadership. I hope one day I can go to this University as a student again. Well I will be an elderly student, but we know that one never stops learning. 😊 My remarks: 👇🏽 https://china.un.org/en/223650-50th-anniversary-conference-environmental-discipline-peking-university (at Beijing, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp98GVAPXAQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
