Workshop on Accelerating Large-Scale Equipment Replacement and Unleashing the Potential of New Quality Productive Forces
On July 3, 2024, iGDP, in collaboration with the Anhui Institute of Economic Research, organized the “Workshop on Accelerating Large-Scale Equipment Replacement: Unleashing the Potential of New Quality Productive Forces”. The event was designed to systematically advance the renewal of large-scale equipment and to bolster the transformation and upgrading of Anhui's manufacturing sector. Prominent experts in energy transition, industrial advancement, and finance joined over 40 specialists from Anhui, Guangdong, and Shanxi, who are actively engaged in this field, for an in-depth dialogue. The discussions focused on policy development, practical implementation, opportunities, and challenges associated with large-scale equipment replacement and consumer goods trade-in, as well as innovative financial support mechanisms.
US-China Workshop on Local Climate Action
From May 30-31, 2024, the US-China Workshop on Local Climate Action was co-hosted by iGDP and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in San Francisco, USA. The workshop attracted over 50 policymakers and scholars from both China and the United States, along with representatives from Guangdong, Shanxi, Hainan, Shanghai, Tianjin, and the Macao Special Administrative Region of China. The event focused on critical areas of climate action in both nations, covering topics such as flexible grids, industrial emission reductions, low-carbon construction, non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, and carbon markets.
Capacity Building Workshop on Pollution and Carbon Reduction in the Automotive Industry
On April 17, 2024, the Center for Environmental Education and Communications of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment successfully hosted a capacity-building workshop focused on pollution and carbon reduction in the automotive industry in Shenzhen, China.

Kickoff Meeting of the Guangdong Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice in Response to Climate Change
On January 11, 2024, the Guangdong Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice in Response to Climate Change was officially established in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The meeting was jointly hosted by the Guangdong Low-Carbon Development Promotion Association and iGDP. The working group is comprised of over ten experts from sectors including energy, electricity, building construction, green finance, carbon footprint analysis, and energy storage. The Association presented the 2024 work plan for the group, which includes two to four thematic workshops and two in-depth training sessions. The experts recommended themes for future workshops, such as pathways to carbon neutrality, enhancing power system flexibility, deep industrial decarbonization, controlling greenhouse gas emissions in refrigeration systems, assessing abatement costs and market mechanisms for cutting-edge technologies, and the development of local carbon trading platforms.
Practical Research in Maanshan, Huainan, and Chuzhou in Anhui Province
From October 10-12, 2023, the iGDP research team visited Ma'anshan City, Huainan City, and Chuzhou City to conduct comprehensive research. The focus was on evaluating climate change policy implementation, developing GHG inventories, and assessing the current energy structure. The team also examined future energy supply plans, and the energy efficiency levels in key sectors—industry, transportation, and buildings—as well as the cities' plans for energy-saving retrofits.
