The Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) is delighted to announce today the delegates selected to participate in the 2015 ACYD to be held in Brisbane, Australia from 4-7 December. From the nearly 250 applications, 30 delegates have been selected to participate in the Dialogue. Short listing delegates proved a difficult task for the selection committee as the overall candidate standard was extremely high.
China’s “new normal”: structural change, better growth, and peak emissions
By 2014 delegate Fergus Green and Professor Stern
China has grown rapidly – often at double-digit rates – for more than three decades
by following a strategy of high investment, strong export orientation and energy-intensive
manufacturing. While this growth lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, it also heightened problems of inequality – personal, regional and urban-rural – and intensified pollution, congestion and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Mark Chan (2014 Delegate)
My experience at this year’s Dialogue was simply amazing. Besides meeting some of the most talented, ambitious and successful Australian and Chinese individuals I have recently crossed paths with, the sessions that were organized was a fantastic combination of issues covering Business, International Security, Trade & Economics, Global Health, the Arts, Philanthropy and Media.
