(Yicai) March 28 -- The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2024 held a sub-forum themed ‘Accelerating Climate Action’ yesterday, where multiple guests spoke and expressed their opinions on how to deal with climate change.

Accomplishing the goal of carbon neutrality is not only the duty of governments and companies but also a responsibility of every individual, Liu Zhenmin, China’s special envoy for climate change, said at the sub-forum. “The human race can achieve carbon neutrality only if everyone participates.”

This year’s four-day forum was themed ‘Asia and the World: Common Challenges, Shared Responsibilities’ and will end tomorrow.

Nine guests attend the panel discussion of the sub-forum ‘Accelerating Climate Action.’
