Climate Witness: Changing Polar Landscapes

The Arctic and Antarctic regions are by far the most responsive on Earth to climate change, and are where its effects on landscapes and biodiversity can be observed almost immediately.
Those who have witnessed these changes first-hand, including researchers, explorers, and local inhabitants alike, are amongst those who have contributed to the widespread communication on how the vast, pristine ice caps have shrunk and been transformed, and have stressed why this matters so much to human-kind.
In this exhibition, the images, sounds, videos and sketches captured by generations of reporters and advocates, reveal stories of the many witnesses of Polar dynamics over recent decades.
These experiences should hopefully encourage a greater audience to take on the responsibility of becoming change-makers in climate action and sustainability.

Universities have a responsibility to bring about sustainable development in society. They are expected to be responsive to pressing societal issues and sustainability challenges and to act to integrate changes in internal organization, knowledge creation, educational models, information technologies, social responsibility and knowledge transfer.

 

As one of Hong Kong’s pioneering universities, CUHK takes a holistic approach to social responsibility, connecting and articulating its vision, goals and priorities to guide planning and management practices. We are resolved to establish ourselves at the forefront of social responsibility and to address various sustainable development targets, ranging from health to education, inclusion to partnerships, and climate action to responsible processes.

 

The University seeks to ensure that all its members understand and identify with CUHK’s values and are engaged in the quest for a sustainable world both for themselves and for those who follow in their footsteps.
