Preface
The global COVID-19 pandemic that has raged for nearly three years has changed many aspects of humankind's lifestyles while simultaneously impacting our physical and mental well-being. During the pandemic, children in particular experienced school closures and remote learning, leading to a significant increase in nearsightedness rates, a significant decrease in concentration, and even the emergence of emotional issues and other after-effects like 3C addiction (Computer/Communication/Consumer electronics addiction). The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), which took place in Dubai December 2023, included health and wellness as a central theme. December 3rd was designated as the inaugural "Health Day" for this conference, aiming to remind the public to pay attention to health crises brought about by climate change.
Therefore, the theme of 2024 14th Climate Change Painting Competition aligns with UN SDGs #3, "Good Health and Well-Being." Through the theme "Health and Wellness Champions", our aim is to raise awareness of infectious diseases among teachers and students, fostering collective discussion on preventive measures against infectious diseases. Simultaneously, there will be a focus on learning about healthy lifestyles, emotional management, as well as gaining a comprehensive understanding of UN SDGs #3’s sub-goals contents. Together, let's stride towards a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
