The first bilingual comic Green Life Comic Book on low-carbon living was launched on Nov 10 in Beijing.

It is designed by Our Part initiative, a joint environmental awareness campaign of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in China and its national goodwill ambassador, actress Zhou Xun.

The book, printed on eco-friendly paper, presents 57 stories by 16 renowned cartoonists from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan including Zhu Deyong, Mai Jiabi, Zhouzhou and Shuita.

The first 100,000 books will be distributed to primary and middle schools in major cities across China.

Renata Lok-Dessallien, UN resident coordinator and UNDP resident representative in China, said the book can help each and every individual become a green ambassador and inspire others.
