On January 26, 2026, BYD and UNESCO officially held the launch ceremony for the third season of the Light Chasers Program at BYD Di Space in Tianjin. The two parties will combine BYD’s core strengths in new energy technologies with UNESCO’s extensive experience in sustainable development to jointly build a new ecosystem for philanthropic cooperation in sustainability.
2026年1月26日，比亚迪与联合国教科文组织在天津迪空间正式举行“追光者计划”第三季项目启动仪式。双方将依托比亚迪在新能源技术领域的核心优势，结合联合国教科文组织在可持续发展领域的深厚积淀，共同构建可持续发展公益合作新生态。
Pang Bo, Brand Director of BYD Group’s Branding and Public Relations Department; Pan Liang, Chief Sustainability Expert; Shahbaz Khan, Director of the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office for East Asia; Ai Sugiura, Head of the Natural Sciences Sector; Luo Jinfei, Vice Chairman of the Tianjin Association for Science and Technology; Li Kang, Head of the Publicity Department of Heping District, Tianjin; and other officials attended the event.
比亚迪集团品牌及公关处品牌总监庞博、首席可持续发展专家潘亮、联合国教科文组织东亚多部门地区办事处主任夏泽翰（Shahbaz Khan）、自然科学部门主管杉浦爱（Ai Sugiura）、天津市科学技术协会副主席罗进飞、天津市和平区宣传部部长李康等领导共同出席活动。
The third season of the Light Chasers Program integrates UNESCO expert resources and ecological governance experience. It will organize BYD vehicle owners to visit four major ecological settings—the Hailuogou Glacier, Tianmu Mountain forests, Dongting Lake wetlands, and Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park—to conduct scientific surveys and data monitoring and develop replicable ecological conservation solutions.
“追光者计划”第三季整合联合国教科文组织专家资源与生态治理经验，将组织比亚迪车主前往海螺沟冰川、天目山森林、洞庭湖湿地、东北虎豹国家公园四大生态场景，开展科学考察与数据监测，形成可复制的生态保护方案。
Pang Bo, Brand Director of BYD Group’s Branding and Public Relations Department, stated that BYD remains committed to driving the energy transition through technology and fulfilling its environmental mission. In 2025, BYD sold more than 4.6 million new energy vehicles. Its new energy passenger vehicles traveled a cumulative distance of more than 400.7 billion kilometers during the year, reducing carbon emissions by 43.29 million metric tons. By partnering with UNESCO to advance the third season of the Light Chasers Program, BYD aims to transform its technological advantages into a force for ecological protection and advance the implementation of its brand vision of “Cooling the Earth by 1°C.”
比亚迪集团品牌及公关处品牌总监庞博表示：比亚迪坚持以技术驱动能源转型，践行环保使命。2025年，比亚迪销售超460万台新能源汽车，新能源乘用车全年累计行驶总里程超4007亿公里，减少碳排放4329万吨。此次携手联合国教科文组织推进“追光者计划”第三季，旨在将比亚迪的技术优势转化为生态守护力量，推动“为地球降温1℃”品牌愿景的落地。
Shahbaz Khan, Director of the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office for East Asia, noted that UNESCO has always been committed to exploring solutions for harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. He said that the partnership with BYD represents an important cross-sector practice in jointly addressing global ecological challenges and will combine UNESCO’s global experience in ecological governance with BYD’s technological strengths to create complementary and mutually reinforcing value.
联合国教科文组织东亚多部门地区办事处主任夏泽翰指出：联合国教科文组织始终致力于探索人与自然和谐共生的解决方案，此次与比亚迪合作是跨领域协同应对全球生态挑战的重要实践，将发挥全球生态治理经验优势，与比亚迪技术优势形成互补共振。
Following the launch ceremony, Shahbaz Khan presented BYD Di Space with a plaque recognizing it as a “Light Chasers Program Sustainable Development Education Practice Base.” Di Space will subsequently serve as a public exhibition platform for the third season of the program, presenting the results of technology-enabled ecological restoration.
启动仪式后，夏泽翰授予比亚迪迪空间“追光者计划-可持续发展教育实践基地”牌匾，迪空间后续将作为追光者计划第三季的展示窗口，向公众呈现科技赋能生态修复的成果。
The event was followed by a roundtable discussion on biodiversity. Ai Sugiura proposed that ecosystem restoration requires coordinated progress in technology, community participation, and local governance. Zhou Weidong, Chief Representative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development China Office, stated that this cooperation model encourages enterprises to move from making commitments to solving concrete problems and explores a new path for Chinese companies to participate in global biodiversity governance. Du Jin, a member of the Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, said that the third season of BYD’s Light Chasers Program demonstrates a transition from corporate risk assessment to substantive action. Such forward-looking strategic investment helps enterprises gain initiative and reduce systemic risks.
紧接着，现场嘉宾围绕“生物多样性”开展圆桌对话，杉浦爱提出，生态系统修复需要科技、社区参与及本地治理的协同推进。世界可持续发展工商理事会中国代表处首席代表周卫东表示，此次合作模式推动企业从表态转向解题，为中国企业参与全球生物多样性治理探索新路径。世界自然保护联盟环境经济和社会政策委员会委员杜金认为，比亚迪“追光者计划”第三季体现企业从风险评估迈向实质行动，这类前置性战略投入，有助于企业占据主动位置、降低系统性风险。
This cross-sector partnership represents a milestone in BYD’s deepening philanthropic practices and a vivid example of a Chinese enterprise using technological strengths to participate in global ecological governance. Looking ahead, BYD will work with more partners to continue empowering ecological conservation through technological innovation and write a new chapter in harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
此次跨界合作是比亚迪深化公益实践的里程碑，也是中国企业以技术优势参与全球生态治理的生动实践。未来，比亚迪将携手更多合作伙伴，持续以科技创新赋能生态保护，书写人与自然和谐共生的新篇章。
