About The Asian Youth Climate Summit 08 in Hong Kong
The HKCCC Asian Youth Summit on Climate Change will be held from July 15 to 19, 2008 at the University of Hong Kong, China. Its main objective is to provide a platform for Asian university students to discuss climate change and investigate possible solutions. The goal is to have student delegates benefit from their participation as much as possible. The conference should not only be expanding the participants' knowledge on climate change: it should empower them to take action on climate change upon returning home. The organisers aim to achieve this through a mix of workshops and expert panel discussions . Equally important are our social events that will foster a sense of belonging to one Asian community. This is important as climate change is a global problem that requires people from different places to work together.

HKCCC is originated from the Univeristy of Hong Kong. Previously we have organized activities like film show, forum and study trip to raise students' awareness on climate change. We are also active in participating decision - making of green policy in the University.

In this summer, we are ready to organise a Youth Summit to gather Asian youth and voice out our opinions on climate change.
