LICHEN: Hello, everyone. Good evening. I am Li Chen.
大家晚上好,我是李晨。
CHENHE: I'm Chen He, good evening.
我是陈赫,晚上好。
LICHEN: Before we begin our speech today, we would like you to first watch this video. This is Baffin Island, Canada. A polar bear is walking to us. He is looking for food. But there is nothing for him except a dry bone. The polar bear is helpless. He has no choice but to wait for death. We stood there crying, filming with tears rolling down our face.
CHENHE: Climate change caused by human activities, threatens all beings on Earth and the future of our planet. The clock is ticking! The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 13 - Climate Action calls on every one of us to take urgent action against climte change and its impacts. If we continue to leave it unrestrained, climate change will eventually threaten our own living conditions including our food and water supplies. Such may even leade to conflicts over resources one day.
LICHEN: Now we have learned about the situation faced by polar bears. Let us have a look at Chinese panda. Can anyone guess what this is?
我们已经看完了受气候变化影响的北极熊。让我们再来看看中国的熊猫。猜猜看它是做什么用的?
CHENHE: This is in fact a solar power station in Datong, Shanxi, designed in the image of a panda. Tonight, we are pleased to have the mother of this panda design here at our forum. Please welcome from Hongkong Miss Ada Li.
Ada Li: Thank you. Hi everyone. I'm really excited to be here. One day an idea lit up in my mind. Why not bring the cute panda, the symbol of China and a messenger of peace, together with solar panels to creat a solar power station? Reducing air pollution through the use of clean energy, is one effective way of responding to climate change.
