大家好，我是来自北京的国际青少年气候大使*丁英瀚，我现在是一名高一的学生，现就读于北京市第八中学。在学校我参加了“气候酷派”小组。我是北京八中S.E.E.D小组的主要成员，我们小组的组名S.E.E.D的意思是“Solar Energy Efficiency Declaration”（太阳能效率宣言）。我们小组主要研究太阳能的利用和能量转化。我们还将向社会大众推广太阳能产品。

作为北京的一名高中生，我一直以来都十分关注环保活动。我曾经于2006年8月——2007年6月赴美国进行为期十个月的文化交流。在美国，我一直积极参加各种环保活动，包括世界地球日的长走活动以及节能灯泡的宣传等。我回到中国以后，在我们学校协助组织了一系列环保活动，例如制作环保布袋并在街上发放给附近市民。英国外交大臣米利班德曾经来我们学校于同学们交流环保话题，我也是那个活动的主持人。

2008年3月23日——3月31日，我和来自成都和香港的另外两位气候大使在英国伦敦参加了世界环境先锋峰会，此次伦敦峰会主要是准备2008年5月在日本神户举办的世界环境部长会议，我们提出了三个“神户宣言”方案，将接受世界青少年的投票，以确定最终的“神户宣言”来提交给各国的环境部长。

2008年5月17日——5月24日，我同另两位来自中国的国际气候大使王艺捷和陈旭培来到日本神户参加在那里举办的八国环境部长峰会的青少年会议。我们在日本去了很多地方，积极传递气候变化的信息。我有机会在5月24日见到了代表中国参会的环境部长，并且代表广大中国青少年将我们的“神户宣言”递交给他。我认为这是我在神户做的最有意义的一件事情。

*丁英瀚是三名来自中国的国际青少年气候大使之一。 “国际青少年气候大使”活动是英国文化协会“低碳未来”项目的组成部分。这个项目让世界各国的年轻人、当地合作伙伴和有影响能力的人参与进来，了解气候变化并行动起来应对气候变化。这个项目始于2007年，通过 与13个国家的当地机构共同举行竞赛的方式开展。3名中国的国际青少年气候大使是我们评选出的青少年气候大使的优秀代表。

Ding Yinghan
from Beijing No.8 Middle School

Hello, everyone. I am the 2008 International Climate Champion* from Beijing, China. My name is Ding Yinghan. I am a 10th grade student studying in Beijing No.8 Middle School. In my school, I joined the Climate Cool club. I am the head member of our climate cool group called S.E.E.D., which stands for Solar Energy Efficiency Declaration. We are doing our project on the use of solar energy in our daily lives and the transform of solar energy into other forms of energy. We will also be trying to persuade the general public to expand the effect of solar energy products.

As a senior high school student in Beijing, I have long been interested in activities related to protecting the environment. I was in the USA as a foreign exchange student from August, 2006 to June, 2007. During that time, I participated in a lot of activities to protect the environment, including the long walk on World's Earth Day and promotion of the use of energy saving light bulbs. When I came back to China, I helped organize a series of activities in our school to raise the awareness of protecting the environment, like making cloth bags and give them away on the streets to people in the community. The UK Foreign Secretary Mr. David Milliband came to our school one time to talk with students about environmental issues. I was the MC for that conference as well.

During March 23rd to March 31st, 2008, I went to London to attend the International Climate Champion's conference together with two other International Climate Champions from Chengdu and Hong Kong. The main purpose of the conference was to prepare for the Kobe Challenge in May in Kobe, Japan. We have drawn out three options for our Kobe Challenge and are willing to get the votes from all young people in the world to help us get the final one to be presented to the Environmental Ministers.

During May 17th to May 24th, 2008, I went to Kobe, Japan to attend the Youth Summit of the G8 Environmental Ministers'Meeting together with Wang Yijie and Kurt. We have visited a lot of places and spread the message of climate change issues. I got a chance to meet the Chinese Environmental Minister on May 24th and presented our Kobe Challenge to him on behalf of young people in China. It was the most meaningful experience I had while I was in Kobe.
