This youth activism started during his studies, where he organised monthly environmental campaigns and ran a podcast called “Let’s TalC” (the C is for climate!) to help young people learn more about international climate policies and green opportunities in China. After graduation he joined a local NGO, the China Youth Climate Action Network, as a youth empowerment officer for two years. He continues to use his friendly, open style to connect easily with the youth at conferences worldwide, such as the World Urban Forum this past June in Poland or last year’s COP26 in Glasgow. At COP26, he organised a side event in the China Corporate Pavilion that focused on improving youth voices and their impact on climate issues. He was also the country coordinator of the UNFCCC Conference of Youth, where he contributed a ‘Youth Statement’ to COP26 and UNFCCC from the insights he gathered from China’s young people. As Jasper puts it, “Topics related to youth always give people hope. When young people propose constructive ideas, it can inspire those in power to move these ideas forward.”
