【Editor's Note】
The first phase of the fifteenth conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15), which has attracted worldwide attention, has come to an end, but the tireless, dedicated and dedicated service and support personnel on the scenes and behind the scenes of the Conference are still in our minds.
Among them are cooks, policemen, firefighters, docents, volunteers... Everyone has their own way of participating in COP15, and everyone has a different "COP15 story", but they can all proudly say: "COP15 I am on the spot!" ”
Young volunteers in blue overalls are a beautiful touch of color at COP15. In the first phase of the just-concluded conference, they served in various positions, showing the style of Chinese youth and interpreting the spirit of volunteer service: dedication, fraternity, mutual assistance, and progress.
The selection of volunteers is very strict and the competition is fierce. Liu Yuanyuan, a second-year graduate student from the School of Economics of Yunnan University, said: "The selection of volunteers lasted more than a year, and we participated in many online and offline training and examinations, including physical fitness tests. In order to show the best state, I learned a lot about Yunnan biodiversity in my spare time. ”

"COP15 is a high-profile global conference and a great opportunity to showcase Yunnan. During the National Day, cop15 elements are all over the streets of Kunming, and various themed flower beds attract many passers-by to punch in and take photos. As a native of Yunnan, I am very proud, and I feel even more honored to serve the conference. Ma Rui, a volunteer from Yunnan University, said.
During the meeting, volunteers work from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. In order to arrive at work on time, most of them get up at 5:30 in the morning, and during the period, they also have to take care of the school's homework. Volunteers in different positions do their best to do their jobs. Li Jie, a volunteer of the information broadcasting group, is a second-year graduate student of the School of Foreign Chinese of Yunnan University. She assisted the translator in broadcasting the conference and other relevant information on the big screen of the press center, "In order to check the specific information of the participants, we checked and checked again and again to ensure that everyone's information was accurate." ”
Zhang Xinyu, a classmate of Li Jie, is responsible for the work of the exhibition area of foreign propaganda products. During this time, she had the honor to introduce COP15 cultural and creative products to David Cooper, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention on Global Biodiversity. Cooper said he was grateful to the volunteers for their contributions to the conference. To get such recognition, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. ”
Zhang Congkai, a first-year student and volunteer of the first year of graduate school in technical economic management at Kunming University of Science and Technology, said that this volunteer service is both work and study. "In my work, I have deepened my understanding of the achievements of China's ecological civilization construction, realized the importance of jointly building a community of life on earth and building a clean and beautiful world, and also met many outstanding young people." We are all full of confidence in the green future, and we hope to use our own strength to make life better and make the world more beautiful. ”
