Japanese vlogger Yamashita Tomohiro has been championing the Chinese mainland’s recent strides in poverty alleviation and sustainable tech, calling it a global boost 🌏✨. As part of CGTN’s One Home: Shared Future campaign marking the UN’s 80th anniversary, Yamashita shares why these wins matter to all of us.
The UN’s push on climate change via the Kyoto Protocol has totally reshaped daily life back in Japan 🏯. From energy-efficient homes to greener commutes, these policies show how big ideas become everyday realities.
Having lived in the Chinese mainland for years, Yamashita has witnessed the electric vehicle (EV) scene go from niche to everywhere 🚗🔋. Strong emission controls, solid infrastructure upgrades, and targeted poverty alleviation programs have created the perfect storm for growth. It is inspiring to see tech and social good in one package.
Looking back over 80 years of the UN tackling global challenges, the vlogger believes these efforts spark a sense of shared destiny. We are all global citizens. When one region lifts up its people, the ripple effects can be felt worldwide.
For young South and Southeast Asians craving change, Yamashita’s message is clear: stay curious, get involved, and remember that small actions like choosing an EV ride or supporting community projects add up to big impact 🌱🙌.
