Dahe Qin, geographer, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Third World Academy of Sciences. He is currently the director of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Asian Geographic Society.  Academician Dahe Qin has long been engaged in the reasearch of cryosphere, climate change and sustainable development. His studies of cryospheric changes and their effects and adaptation and of the functioning cryospheric services contribute to build the theoretical framework of the cryospheric science. Being the founder of the State Key Laboratory on Cryospheric Science and of the Society on Cryospheric Science in China, he has led the compilation of textbooks on cryosphere. All this has contributed to the development of the cryospheric science. He was involved in the leadership of the preparation of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and also the assessment of climate and environment in China, and of extreme weather and climate events and disaster risk management in China, making significant contributions to deepening the understanding of climate change science. He was awarded the 2008 International Meteorological Organization Prize, the 2013 Volvo Environment Prize, the Second Prize of (China) National Natural Science Award, Grand Prize of 2021 National Excellent Textbook (Higher Education), and 2022 International Geographical Union Lauréat d’Honneur. He has published more than 400 papers and 30 books.  Kejun Jiang Senior Researcher, Energy Research Institute (ERI), Chinese Academy of Macro-Economic Research.  Kejun Jiang’s research focus is energy, climate change mitigation and air pollution prevention policy assessment by using IPAC modeling, to support national five year plans, and long-term planning. He began his research in ERI from 1990, and led the development of Integrated Policy Assessment Model for China(IPAC). He also joined IPCC reports, UNEP GEO reports as authors.  Professor Song Liangchun is the chief scientist of the National Key Research and Development Program, the director of the Committee of the Climatology and Climate Resources of the Chinese Meteorological Society, the chairman of the National Technical Committee on Climate and Climate Change Standardization. He is mainly engaged in research on extreme weather and climate events, impacts and adaptation to climate change, and meteorological disaster risk management. He has published more than 50 research papers and published 8 academic monographs and atlas.  Prof. Panmao Zhai, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, [email protected]  Panmao Zhai, is a senior research scientist of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and Vice Chair of the National Climate Change Expert Committee in China. He has long time been involved in IPCC as the lead author for IPCC WG1 AR4 and AR5 and currently is the Co-Chair of IPCC Working Group I.  During 2010-2022, he worked a the Chief Scientist of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and Vice President of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and the Secretary General of the Chinese Meteorological Society.  During 2004-2010, he posted as the Director-General of Department of Forecasting and Networking, and Deputy Director-General of Department of Prediction Services and Disaster Mitigation of China Meteorological Administration.  His main research area is on climate system diagnostics, and extreme weather and climate events.  He has published more than 200 co-authored scientific papers and received the First Prize of National Scientific and Technological Progress, in China.  Prof. & Dr. Yong LUO Dr Yong Luo is professor and Chair of the Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University. Dr Luo dedicates himself to climate-water-energy research, including climate change impacts risk and management, development and evaluation of earth system model, process and mechanism of global energy-water cycle, global climate change detection, attribution and projection, seasonal climate prediction, meteorology for renewable energy. He is the vice Chair of China National Committee of IUGG/IACS, vice President of Chinese Society of Cryosphere Science, and the vice editor-in-chief of Advances in Climate Change Research and Journal of Glaciology and Geocryology. He was the Coordinate Lead Author of the Sixth Assessment Report of IPCC WGII and the Sherpa for UN Secretary General Mr Ban Ki-moon’s High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability. Dr Luo was awarded special allowance by the State Council of China in 2008 and he was a member of Nobel Peace Prize-Winning IPCC Team in 2007.
