As the United Nations gears up to celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025, a fresh wave of youth-driven storytelling is putting a human face on global climate action. Meet Tiểu Thanh, a Vietnamese student living in Tianjin, who’s bridging her dual cultural experiences to show how the UN’s work isn’t just about high-level diplomacy—it’s in the everyday.
From Heatwaves to Harvests: The UN’s Local Touch
🌡️ In China’s bustling cities, the UN supports heatwave early-warning systems that help urbanites like Tiểu Thanh’s friends stay safe during scorching summers. Meanwhile, back in Vietnam, the organization empowers farmers with climate-resilient techniques and clean energy transitions—proving sustainability isn’t a buzzword but a lifeline.
"It’s About Our Shared Home"
Through CGTN’s One Home: Shared Future campaign, Tiểu Thanh joins global creators in showcasing how climate solutions shape real lives. "These projects feel like quiet superheroes," she says. "They’re proof that saving the planet starts with protecting people." 🌏✨
Her story resonates with Gen Z’s demand for action over talk—a reminder that the UN’s legacy isn’t just in treaties, but in the air we breathe and the food we grow.
