Our Mission

China has just set its 2060 Carbon Neutrality Target. How China’s carbon neutrality goal is defined and achieved will impact global success in meeting the 1.5C warming target. It is our belief that the first chapter of our climate positive future is about educating the next-generation leaders in China through building a carbon-neutral campus in across all secondary schools in China.

The CCCC is achieving this goal through our 3-step strategy: 1) raise awareness, 2) conduct research, and 3) provide guidance to make sure all member schools will make impactful yet actionable plans to reduce carbon emission.

Raise Awareness

Protecting the environment is important, but where and how do we, as teenagers in secondary schools, contribute to it and why do our efforts matter. CCCC educates the next-gen leaders in China through a wide range of events and scholarships.

Conduct Research

We believe that "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it" also applies in carbon emission control and have set the plan to measure the status and impacts of carbon footprints in major secondary schools.

Provide Guidance

Achieving a carbon-neutral campus is not an easy task - it involves different aspects and could be a decade-long task. We are providing the strategies and tools necessary to get started on this mission.
