Qiu emphasized that a world-class university should have a world-class mission, play a leading role in addressing climate change, and make contributions with hard-core technologies. "Let us take action to prove our firm belief in the bright future of mankind, promote international cooperation on climate change and carbon neutrality, and continue to contribute to the construction of a beautiful homeland for mankind," said Qiu.
Tu said in his speech that the earth is the only home for human beings. The basis for progress and success in global environmental governance is to adhere to multilateralism and the spirit of international cooperation. Climate change affects the entire planet, and is related to every country, every region, every industry, every enterprise, every family, and every individual. Addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires action from all sides. The Joint Mission is a complete embodiment of the two keywords "cooperation" and "action". He called on all parties to take urgent and more effective action to implement the goals that have already been achieved and looked forward to fruitful results from the initiative.
The international academic community paid great attention on the Joint Mission. Toshiya Ueki, executive vice president of Tohoku University, and Nigel Brandon, dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, congratulated the ceremony via video speeches, saying they look forward to taking action with international partners in the fight against climate change.
Tu and Qiu awarded the "Council Member Cup" for 12 co-initiators of the Joint Mission.
