community which is beautiful, energy-saving and with a virtuous ecological cycle.<br />

17 seconds. The figures <strong>of</strong> ―COP15‖, ―↓C‖ and ―V‖ composed <strong>of</strong> light appeared on<br />

the dorm buildings, vividly delivering the students‘ wishes to reduce carbon emission<br />

and cope with climate change. At the same time, students started heated<br />

discussions concerning climate change and sustainable development <strong>of</strong> the campus<br />

on many websites like bbs.pku.edu.cn. This showed the youth‘s close concentration<br />

and determination in respect to coping with climate change and their support to the<br />

countries‘ agreement on reduce carbon emission on Copenhagen Conference.<br />

As one <strong>of</strong> the organizations to initiate this action, the Environmental Education Base<br />

<strong>of</strong> China <strong>University</strong> Students was established by <strong>PKU</strong> in 2006. It aims to build a<br />

high-end platform for university students to receive environmental education and<br />

contributes to environmental protection, guides the students to get engaged in<br />

environmental scientific innovation, ―green‖ campuses construction, environmental<br />

education promotion and international communication. It will constantly bring up<br />

young leaders in the fields <strong>of</strong> environmental protection.<br />
