Upcoming Event: Carbon Neutrality Forum 2021

Published:2021-04-14 

Addressing climate change is a challenge faced by all human beings. China has been actively advocating international cooperation on climate change and committed to becoming an important participant, contributor and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization. President Xi Jinping recently reiterated at a series of important meetings that "China aims to have CO2 emissions peak by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060."

In order to build a professional interactive communication platform for domestic and international experts, scholars and industrialists who are concerned about carbon peak and carbon neutrality, SJTU LCC is going to hold a Carbon Neutrality Forum in Shanghai on 15th April.
