Screening of ‘Landscape of Rubbish’

LIN You-xue | in Mandarin with English subtitles

Liina KLAUSS is a German artist. Having resided in Hong Kong, she collects and arranges the rubbish with its colour in the process of beach cleaning. Through her vision, the rubbish turns into an incredible art installation. Following Liina’s vision, it seems to have an adventure in creating experience. The film extends to the problems with waste that was inspired by art creation.

[SDG Forum Series 2021-22] Save the polar bears … only? —Impacts of a Changing Cryosphere

In the past few decades, the cryosphere has been melting at an unprecedented rate.  Not only does the melting in the Polar Regions threaten the existence of ice-dependent species, it also has significant impacts on water supply, food production, infrastructure and the risk of floods and droughts.

Co-organized by CUHK’s Office of University General Education and the Hong Kong Chapter of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN Hong Kong), the speakers will present the latest scientific findings on the changing cryosphere, and share an experience of leading the expedition to the Polar Regions and highlight the importance of providing alternative learning experiences for local students to foster their sense of responsibility to society and the environment.
