"Finally I have the opportunity to learn alongside such a diverse group of esteemed global figures in sustainability," said Xue Leyi, a 16-year-old student from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. "Different oceans are interconnected," said Li Yuqiao, a 17-year-old student at the Shanghai United International School, Gubei Secondary Campus, and a passionate scuba diver. He was also intrigued by the "FuXi-Subseasonal "model, developed by scientists from the Shanghai Academy of Artificial Intelligence for Science, Fudan University, and China's National Climate Center. When questioned by Emily Ma, a student from Hong Kong, about the key messages Generation Z should bear in mind in the critical battle against climate change, Lo responded affirmatively, stating that young people should "understand the urgency", "have hope that it's possible to do well by doing good", and acknowledge that "we are all interconnected".
