Academicians, experts, and technology elites from around the world, along with entrepreneurs, gathered to collectively discuss the application of interdisciplinary methods in building secure, green, and livable digital resilient cities, aiming to achieve the integration of urban and rural areas and sustainable development of resources and the environment! Concurrent activities of the symposium took place at Shenyang University in China and Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.Prof. Huadong Guo, Academician of the CAS, Director of the International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals and Dr. Xiaoming Jin, Director of the Professional Committee of Science Diplomacy of China Association for International Science and Technology Cooperation attended the opening ceremony and jointly unveiled the Center for Applied Future Engineering and Science (CAFES). Municipal and county leaders Ms. Yueying Zhang, Mr. Benfeng Zhang, Mr. Renhai Zeng, and others participated in the opening ceremony.In recent years, due to the continuous acceleration of the global urbanization process, urban spaces have become increasingly compact, and population distribution has become more concentrated. Enhancing urban resilience and increasing the ability to withstand risks have become significant challenges in the modern management of urban construction. On the other hand, with global climate change, natural disasters such as high temperatures, floods, and droughts are becoming more frequent. Risks such as infectious diseases, sudden social events, and major safety accidents are also on the rise. The impacts on urban development are increasingly significant. While people are paying attention to disasters and events, they are also more aware of the importance of building “Resilient Cities.”As one of the significant events of this year's World Young Scientists Summit(WYSS), this symposium, within the framework of the WYSS and in response to the resilience needs of Cangnan's urban development, addresses topics such as urban geology and the secure development of underground spaces, intelligent cities for extreme situations, innovative approaches to water and food security in response to agricultural non-point source pollution, and innovative responses to an aging society. It aims to explore  “Constructing safe, green, and livable digital resilient cities, in the context of sustainable development of natural resources and environment” The symposium further aims to enhance the establishment of an international platform for young scientific and technological talents, attracting outstanding young scientists worldwide to contribute their efforts to sustainable development and technological innovation.During the ceremony, Dr. Young Joo Lee, Director of the CCOP Technical Secretariat (CCOPTS), Dr. David Govoni, President of the European Federation of Geologists, Mr. Li Dai, Secondary Inspector of Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology, Ms. Yueying Zhang, the Vice Mayor of Wenzhou, and Mr. Benfeng Zhang, the secretary of the county Party committee of Cangnan each delivered speeches on stage.

I am eagerly anticipating that through this symposium and annual meeting, we can further learn and exchange advanced ideas and technologies for building resilient cities. Let's discuss and share new models and pathways for achieving resilient cities and sustainable urban development. At the same time, I hope that experts and scholars can provide valuable insights into the urban development of Wenzhou and Cangnan. Share your expertise generously with Wenzhou, so that more research achievements can be applied to the development of Wenzhou and Cangnan cities. Let more high-caliber talents participate in the development of Wenzhou, collectively seize development opportunities, and create a better future together.” In his address, Mr. Benfeng Zhang expressed:    “Hoping that experts and scholars can, leveraging their professional expertise and international perspectives, diagnose and offer insights for the resilient urban development of Cangnan. Through exchange, discussion, and intellectual collisions, let's yield fruitful results in urban ecological construction. Provide optimal examples for the organic integration of natural forms and urban spaces, making cities more low-carbon, intelligent, and harmonious.

Young science and technology leaders mainly consist of four parts: international young scientists recommended and selected by international organizations, principals and representatives of international organizations, young Chinese scientists working abroad, young scientists and entrepreneurs recommended by national associations and universities as well as the expert representatives selected by the previous four academic symposiums. Young science and technology leaders made keynote speeches and discussion speeches on the roundtable to concentrate on the significant issues as follows: a. Scientific and technological innovation and cutting-edge technology, how to achieve the objective of sustainable development through science and technology; b. The road and plan for young scientists to achieve the objective of sustainable development; c. The social responsibilities and challenges of young scientists; d. Discussion on the necessity and platform construction of interdisciplinary and transnational cooperation among young scientists; e. Suggestions on the next World Young Scientist Summit, as well as how international organizations participate in the construction of the World Young Scientist Summit.In addition, the young science and technology leaders present advocated establishing a long-term mechanism for cooperation among young scientists, founding the “World Young Scientist Alliance”, and striving to build a global platform of communication and cooperation among young scientists so as to provide solutions to global challenges and sustainable development continuously. Based on careful discussion, the Wenzhou Declaration of the World Young Scientist Summit (referred to as the Declaration) was revised and finally formed, and it was announced at the opening ceremony of the summit on October 18, 2020

2023 Youth Climate Action Forum and 2023 Global Roundtable for Young Scientist Scholars

I. BackgroundAt COP21 in 2015, countries around the world made a collective commitment to take decisive action in limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2050. Scientific evidence shows that to ensure the achievement of this goal requires a halving of carbon emissions by 2030. In order to promote mutual understanding among young talents worldwide, drive innovation and progress, and collectively work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), the World Young Scientists π Community, in collaboration with several other organizations, proposes to hold the "2023 Youth Climate Action Forum and 2023 Global Roundtable for Young Scientist Scholars" in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province on November 11-12, 2023. This forum will serve as a central event of the 2023 World Young Scientist Summit (WYSS 2023).The upcoming forum will bring together experts from the fields of green energy, low-carbon, climate change and sustainable development. Through cross-regional, cross-disciplinary, and cross-generational collaboration, the participants are going to actively explore new opportunities to address climate challenges and provide suggestions for creating a green and sustainable future. Participation in this forum will open up new channels of cooperation between young scientific and technological professionals from different countries. It aims to open up the cooperation channels between young scientific and technological workers from all countries, promote international scientific and technological cooperation, enhance scientific and technological innovation capabilities, strengthen the exchange of scientific and technological talents, promote the exchange of scientific and technological talents, and play an active role in promoting green and low-carbon responses to climate challenges and achieving the SDGs.II.
