Compared to receiving environmental knowledge unilaterally, this group of young people chose to delve into the case itself and tell the story of green spaces to more people. Beautiful China and Youth Talk "is one of the series of activities of Tsinghua University's Global Youth Climate Week. It breaks away from the professional text framework and studies and talks about green practices scattered in cities, communities, and parks from the perspective of young people, promoting the promotion of green cases and cross-border dialogue.
This sharing is based on the results of the second "Beautiful China Green Space User Action" case collection "2026 Yearbook". The collection activity has received more than 150 cases submitted by enterprises, communities, public institutions and other entities, breaking away from the perspective of engineering construction, focusing on the real experience of users, and recording innovative explorations in green space construction and operation in various regions. The Tsinghua student team served as the keynote speaker, breaking the traditional reporting mode and providing multidimensional interpretations around four major directions: public awareness guidance, resource system reconstruction, international sustainable perspective, and green space rights.
The team of the School of Journalism and Communication takes Ant Forest as the starting point and shares along the main line of "re understanding resources, re understanding systems, and redefining individuals". They mentioned, "The truly interesting part of Ant Forest may not just be planting a tree species in the desert, but more importantly, planting greenery in the lives of ordinary people." The team connects practical samples such as Three Gorges hydropower, old clothing recycling, black soldier fly kitchen waste treatment, industrial wastewater recycling, and home appliance recycling, and combines vivid stories from campuses, communities, and families to showcase the diverse paths of resource recycling and explain how ordinary people transform from environmental users to actively participating green actors. In their view, every ordinary person can also find their own place.
比起单向接收环保知识，这群青年选择走进案例本身，把绿色空间的故事讲给更多人听。“美丽中国・青年说” 是清华大学全球青年气候周系列活动之一，跳出专业文本框架，以青年视角研读、讲述散落于城市、社区、园区里的绿色实践，推动绿色案例推广与跨界对话。
这场分享依托第二届 “美丽中国 绿色空间使用者行动” 案例征集成果《2026 年年鉴》展开。征集活动累计收到企业、社区、公共事业单位等主体报送的 150 余份案例，跳出工程建设视角，聚焦使用者的真实体验，记录各地在绿色空间建设、运营层面的创新探索。清华学生团队担任主讲人，打破传统汇报模式，围绕公共意识引导、资源系统重构、国际可持续视角、绿色空间权利四大方向，带来多维度解读。
新闻传播学院团队以蚂蚁森林为切入点，沿着 “重新理解资源、重新理解系统、重新定义个人” 的主线展开分享。他们提到：“蚂蚁森林真正有意思的地方，也许不只是把一棵树种进了沙漠，更重要的是把绿色种进了普通人的生活当中。” 团队串联三峡水电、旧衣再生、黑水虻餐厨垃圾处理、工业废水循环、家电回收等实践样本，结合校园、社区与家庭的鲜活故事，展现资源循环的多元路径，阐释普通人如何从环境使用者，转变为主动参与的绿色行动者。在他们看来，每一个普通人也都可以找到自己的位置。
The law school team anchored the right to use and maintain green spaces, adhering to the concept of "starting with people and being loyal to them", and shared the theme of "not just green, returning green spaces to life". They thought: whether green space is good or not, who the final say? The answer lies with the user. The team explores the solution to the neighbor avoidance effect through a composite model of "underground facilities+above ground parks" in water purification plants and ecological industrial parks; Using photovoltaic projects and green building cases to illustrate, green spaces have the opportunity to transform from simple cost items into sustainable assets; At the same time, facing the long-term operational pain points after the completion of green spaces, and proposing: "Co construction is us building a home together, while coexistence is our recognition that the home is already a resident." Youth can become users, recorders, translators, and guardians of green spaces.
Malaysian student Hou Lijia brings the perspective of overseas youth and extracts four dimensions: "beauty in nature, beauty in innovation, beauty in the people, and beauty in sustainability". She said: "What we really want to cultivate is not people who know how important environmental protection is, but people who believe they have the ability to create change." Combining Mount Wuyi National Park, riparian ecological restoration, enterprise life-cycle carbon management, community composting and other cases, we combed out a six step sustainable cycle mechanism of ecological transformation, joint operation, performance accounting, openness and transparency, financial support, and continuous upgrading, providing reference for mutual learning of ecological experience at home and abroad.
The "user" perspective that runs through the entire sharing will also take the stage of international climate dialogue. Wang Weiwei, Director of the Green Space User Action Committee and General Manager of the Wanwu Cloud Sustainable Development Center, revealed that the team is actively preparing to release the "Green Space User Yearbook" during COP31, showcasing innovative practices in China's green space field through user narratives and telling the international community a warm story of China's low-carbon transformation.
法学院团队则锚定绿色空间的使用权与维护权，秉持 “始于人，忠于人” 的理念，分享主题为 “不止于绿，把绿色空间还给生活”。他们抛出思考：绿色空间好不好，谁说了算？答案在于使用者。团队以净水厂、生态产业园 “地下设施 + 地上公园” 复合模式，探讨邻避效应的破解之道；借助光伏项目、绿色建筑案例说明，绿色空间有机会从单纯成本项转化为可持续资产；同时直面绿地建成后的长期运维痛点，并提出：“共建是我们一起建设一个家园，而共栖是我们承认家园本来就是居民的。” 青年可以成为绿色空间的使用者、记录者、转译者与守护者。
马来西亚留学生侯荔嘉带来海外青年的观察视角，提炼出 “美在自然、美在创新、美在人民、美在可持续” 四个维度。她谈到：“我们真正希望培养的不是知道环保有多重要的人，而是相信自己有能力创造改变的人。” 结合武夷山国家公园、河岸生态修复、企业全生命周期碳管理、社区堆肥等案例，梳理出生态改造、共同运营、绩效核算、公开透明、资金支持、持续升级的六步可持续循环机制，为中外生态经验互鉴提供参考。
贯穿整场分享的 “使用者” 视角，还将登上国际气候对话舞台。绿色空间使用者行动主任委员、万物云可持续发展中心总经理王唯唯透露，团队正积极筹备，计划在COP31期间发布《绿色空间使用者年鉴》，以使用者叙事展现中国绿色空间领域的创新实践，向国际社会讲述有温度的中国低碳转型故事。
Li Penghui, director of the Propaganda and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that young people are shifting from passive "listening to environmental protection" to active "talking about environmental protection". The value of this activity is to promote the construction of ecological civilization, which is no longer limited to paper texts, but transformed into young people's independent narratives and practical actions. We look forward to young people continuously unleashing their creativity and connection, exploring green practices around them, telling real and three-dimensional stories of beautiful China, and continuously conveying credible and perceptible green concepts to the outside world.
生态环境部宣传教育中心主任李鹏辉表示，青年正在从被动 “听环保” 转向主动 “讲环保”。这场活动的价值，正是推动生态文明建设不再停留在纸面文本，转化为青年自主的讲述与落地行动。期待青年持续释放创造力与连接力，挖掘身边的绿色实践，讲好真实立体的美丽中国故事，持续向外传递可信、可感的绿色理念。
