Themed "AI Governance for Tomorrow: Peace, Trust and Inclusion", the finals of the 2025 "Rong Chang Cup" Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance (YICGG) concluded at Fudan University in Shanghai on July 28.

The event brought together 90 participants from 38 countries. They explored ways to build a community with a shared future for mankind and translate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of "peace, justice, and strong institutions" into timely solutions and youth-led initiatives.

The competition encouraged participants to light the beacon of AI for world peace through practical governance proposals and ethical institutional innovations.

The finalists, selected from 325 preliminary contestants, were randomly assigned to 12 teams. Over six days, they took part in guided discussions, case analyses, and solution design, showcasing the younger generation's confidence and responsibility in co-creating global governance.
