BEIJING: Scientists from around the world were urged to collaborate across borders and disciplines to tackle climate change through technological innovation on Thursday, China’s second National Ecology Day, as a green low-carbon conference opened in Huzhou, Zhejiang province.
The Green Low-Carbon Development Initiative, released at the 2024 Green Low-Carbon Innovation Conference, called on scientists to transcend borders and disciplinary boundaries in order to enhance openness, exchanges and cooperation.
It also urged them to leverage high-level scientific research and technological innovation to save the planet and to build a more united, green and prosperous world.
Xue Lan, dean of Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University and an executive committee member of the World Federation of Scientific Workers, emphasized the importance of scientific collaboration.
“I believe that cooperation among scientists is easy because we share common aspirations and interests in understanding each other’s research and learning from each other,” he said.
“However, this is not enough. We must also promote collaboration among academia, enterprises and governments.” –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
