Slovenian ambassador on how to break ice and create greener future

Echoing the green concept of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, TOLI, an environmental campaign to champion the protection of Alpine glaciers and create a sustainable future for winter sports, was launched by the Slovenian Olympic Committee.

The mission was to transport a piece of glacier ice from Slovenia to China, stopping in over 10 former Olympic venues on its journey. Now the campaign has finally reached Zhangjiakou.

To further amplify TOLI's purpose, the China-Slovenia Climate Change, Snow and Ice Culture Forum was held in Beijing on Feb 12. It gathered many interlocutors, including Slovenian Ambassador Alenka Suhadolnik, the Slovenian Olympic team members, and glacier research experts from both countries to share their insights on glacier conservation.

In an interview with China Daily, ambassador Suhadolnik talks about her impression of the Beijing 2022 and how to push forward people-to-people understanding through culture and tourism.
