China's presence growing force at annual UN conference
Young people from China are playing a bigger role at United Nations' climate change conferences held annually over the past quarter century, with the most recent event wrapping up in Katowice, Poland, over the weekend.
Chinese youth were initially slow to show a great deal of enthusiasm for these key events. They only did so for the first time at the 11th conference in 2005 with a sole delegate, He Gang, who joined the gathering in Montreal, Canada, according to the China Youth Climate Action Network, an NGO established in 2007.
