Program Structure

Think Smart

Combating climate change will require experts from around the world and across multiple fields working together to come up with creative solutions to a host of problems. Join scientists, engineers, philosophers, scholars, lawyers, policy experts, and economists as we look at the vast implications that climate change has for our world and how we can best work together to fight for a better future.


Talk Smart

For years, the reality of climate change and its consequences have been clear not just to scientists, but to all of us dealing with the unpredictable ramifications of climate change. It's become apparent that new voices dealing with these issues don't just need to be driven by data and science, but they need to be emotionally appealing and drive us all to action. In these sessions, award-winning journalists, writers, and teachers will guide you as you shape your own persuasive arguments for combating climate change.


Program Material 

In this category, you will find some recommended reading materials from both Yale speakers and Caixin Global experts. These reading recommendations include news articles, books, videos, essays and websites, all linked to climate change.


Essay Competition

Essay competition aims to spark thoughts and exchange of perspectives on possible strategies against climate change. Contribute your proposal and win the opportunity to join and speak as the Young Leaders' Representative at the annual Caixin Summit.
