Starting from China’s Grand Canal in September 2021, the campaign has been held successfully on the Potomac River in Washington, the Thames in London, the Seine in Paris, the Donau in Vienna, etc., attracting more than 2,000 international paddlers.
Jean-Christophe Rolland, World Rowing Federation president, highly praised the event. “More important was the powerful message carried out by this mission, which connected and inspired the rowing family to make a difference in this regard,” he stated in a signed letter.
At a side event held in Sharm El-Sheikh during the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), Rolland also delivered his appreciation especially to Wang Shi, honorary president of Asian Rowing Federation and the action’s team leader, “It is great to see your incredible environmental advocacy, initiated during your presidency at the Asian Rowing Federation, and continuing since.”
“The action connected different cities and different cultures, and raised environmental awareness of many people under the slogan of ‘zero carbon, zero waste and clean water’,” Feng added, “A new plan of the campaign for the next year is in the pipeline.”
