The 2023 Rong Chang Cup Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance, also known as YICGG 2023, concluded on Sunday in Dali Bai autonomous prefecture, located in China's Yunnan province.

Co-hosted by Fudan University, Dali University and Shanghai Rong Chang Public Welfare Foundation, the competition featured 64 contestants from 29 countries in the finals, which ran from July 12 to 16.

Under the theme "biodiversity breeds prosperity," finalists participated in various sessions including talks, discussions, debates, field work, and presentations to propose solutions for urgent issues in biodiversity conservation.

At the closing ceremony, the "YICGG2023 We Youth Common Agenda - Global Biodiversity: Youth Involvement and Initiatives" was unveiled. The agenda calls for joint efforts from global youth to embrace biodiversity, raise ecological consciousness and integrate biodiversity conservation into daily life.

"Biodiversity is a major issue underpinning the future of ecological civilization and humanity," said Su Changhe, dean of School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Fudan University, at the closing ceremony. "This year's YICGG is full of vision, actions, passion, innovation, individual perspectives and consensus."

"The youth are the designers and practitioners of future global governance. The future and hope of global governance rests upon your shoulders," Su added.
