Recently, I was invited to visit Zhengzhou University. He also held a discussion with Dean Deng Qihong of the School of Public Health of Zhengzhou University and teachers and students on how to deal with the challenges brought by global climate change.
At the symposium, Dr. Liu Hongzhi, vice president and secretary-general of our association, introduced in detail the development ideas and practices of the zero-carbon and zero-waste ecological park in Tianya District, Sanya City. They shared their experience in resource recycling, energy conservation and emission reduction. Director Huang Wenhai focused on the ecological and environmental issues in the Yellow River Basin. His report not only demonstrated the current challenges, but also pointed out the direction for future environmental protection work. The college also specially invited Professor Tong Shilu, senior consultant of the Institute of Environment of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and visiting professor of Queensland University of Technology in Australia, to give a keynote speech entitled "Climate Crisis is a Decisive Challenge to Public Health". Professor Tong emphasized that addressing the climate crisis requires the joint efforts of the whole society, especially the active participation and contribution of the public health field.
The participating teachers and students highly recognized the experts’ reports and believed that these contents not only provided rich academic information, but also provided guidance for practical work.
This symposium not only deepened the participants' understanding of the ecological environment and climate crisis, but also provided a platform for in-depth exchanges and learning. It also laid the foundation for promoting deeper cooperation between the association and Zhengzhou University. Both parties will take this opportunity to continue to pay attention to the development trends in the fields of ecological environment and climate crisis, and jointly contribute to building a better ecological environment and healthy human society.
