Our team from the Guangzhou Institute of Energy successfully participated in COP28 and hosted a side event at the China Pavilion
On 30 Nov, 2023, the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) opened in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Our team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Guangzhou Institute of Energy attended the conference and co-hosted a side event on the "Carbon Neutrality Vision and Energy Transition in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA)" with the Global Institute for Sustainable Environment on 5 Dec at the China Pavilion. During the event, our project's Co-PI, researcher Cuiping Liao from the Guangzhou Institute of Energy, presented the energy transition scenarios and pathways of the GBA, while Co-PI and associate researcher Ying Huang shared her insights on the carbon neutrality actions, strategies, and energy transition pathways for Guangzhou. Subsequently, in a roundtable discussion, guests explored the technical and policy needs for the GBA's energy transition, as well as the development of market mechanisms. This conference provided valuable experiences and policy suggestions for the energy transition and the realization of dual carbon goals in the GBA.
