The summit opened with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring a ribbon made from recycled plastic bottles, symbolizing our dedication to a circular economy. The ceremony was officiated by Acting Director Tang Iu Man of the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau, Vice-Principal Ieong Pui Ian of Macao Pui Ching Middle School and various guests. Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Professor Li Yongjie delivered the keynote speech, covering such topics as the atmospheric environment, climate change, and carbon neutrality.

Student research presentations marked one of the highlights of the summit and discussed topics including “The environmental impact of climate change on an Arctic archipelago”, “The impact of climate change on migratory bird diversity in the Greater Bay Area”, “The effects of the interactive mechanism of El Niño and Rossby Waves on the climate of South China”, and “Climate change: Coral reef conservation”. The program also featured a student performance of an original song, Save Our World, written by a group of our 7^th graders and one 11^th grader.

Another highlight of the summit was a roundtable discussion led by Professor Leung Wing Mo, Dr. Saul Chan, Ms. Ruby O, and Ms. Lok Un Wa. The guest speakers engaged with students from Pui Ching and our two sister schools on such topics as "Innovations in climate policy," "Regional cooperation mechanisms," and "Youth action plans". In his closing remarks, Professor Leung pointed out a paradox that our generation has witnessed: “We have turned convenience into a curse, calling it progress, without calculating the cost." He encouraged young people to make changes for the next generation, ensuring a healthier planet for future inhabitants.

At lunchtime, students from the three schools tasted regional flavors together at local restaurants, bonding through food and supporting the local economy. In the afternoon, teachers and students were given a tour of the educational hotel and educational restaurant of the Macao University of Tourism and learned about their sustainable practices.

In recent years, our school has been encouraging students to turn language skills into actionable solutions for real-world problems, allowing them to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom. The Youth Climate Summit is an attempt to transform English education. The event gives students from different regions the opportunity to discuss climate issues in English and inspires youth to take action in the face of global crises.

The inauguration ceremony for the student society of the 2032 graduating class was held this afternoon. Following Pui Ching’s tradition, all fifth-grade students became new members of the student society.

She encouraged everyone to maintain a reverence for knowledge, friendship, and life in their quest for learning.

President Lo Chi Hou of the Macao Pui Ching Student Association discussed the historical origins and the value of the society’s traditions. The ceremony marked the first gathering of the presidents of the Student Association from Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao.

After the ceremony, members of the student society staged an original musical, Symphony of Time and Space: Melodies of the Future, which had been in preparation for two months. The production integrated technological effects and elements of diverse cultures, showcasing the new generation's aspirations for the future through a time-travel narrative.
