Three Chinese Young Ambassadors join other International Climate Champions (ICC), from twelve countries across the world, in London from 24-29 March 2008. ICCs come from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, United Kingdom, and USA. They worked together on an urgent message to world leaders on climate change and present a call to action – The Kobe Challenge – to Environment Ministers at their G8 meeting in Japan.
Beijing's Ding Yinghan, Wang Yijie from Chengdu and Chan Yuk Pui from Hong Kong are all passionate in helping others to understand the problems of climate change, winning a national competition to represent their country.
The International Climate Champions will also be sharing their experiences through YouTube. They will also petition the wider public to vote on their Kobe Challenge which they will take to the Environment Ministers G8 meeting in Kobe.
