Zhenhua Green Transformation and Sustainable Development Fund Local Capacity Building for Climate Action and Hangzhou Research

On July 3-4, the "Local Capacity Building for Climate Action" initiative, part of the Zhenhua Green Transition and Sustainable Development Fund under the China Environmental Protection Foundation, investigated in Guiyang. The research team included Xu Guang, President of the China Environmental Protection Foundation, Fang Zhi, Liaison Officer of the Zhenhua Fund, and other experts in the field of climate and low-carbon development. The Institute for Global Decarbonization Progress Progress (iGDP) also participated in the event. On July 3, the investigation team visited the National Big Data (Guizhou) Comprehensive Pilot Zone Exchange Experience Center, the Guizhou Construction Research and Design Institute, and the Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd. They conducted on-site investigations into the development of the digital economy, low-to-zero carbon renovation of old buildings, and digital and intelligent transformation of factories. The discussions during the Guiyang investigation focused on topics such as the digital economy, zero-carbon buildings, and green factories. Participants expressed their anticipation that this event would help distill replicable and scalable technical solutions, systematically summarize the project, promote Guizhou’s low-carbon experiences, and ultimately form a replicable and scalable "Guizhou Case" to support the green and low-carbon transition of the economy and society.
