On November 6th, the Climate Change and Low Carbon Development Forum 2022 was held in Shanghai and Ren Hongbin, Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), attended and addressed the forum.
Ren Hongbin noted that themed “Addressing Climate Change and Promoting Low Carbon Development”, focusing on trending topics including green finance, sustainable transformation, and new energy technologies, the forum is a practical action to implement Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. In August 2022, CCPIT led the establishment of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) China Council. This is the foundation of an important platform for the Chinese business community to participate in global sustainable development cooperation on a wider scale, in a broader field, and at a higher level. Guided by the instructions of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CCPIT and the China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) stand ready to continuously play their roles as an open window and a bridge to better facilitate communication between the government and enterprises, connect domestic and foreign stakeholders as well as ensure a smooth supply chain. The CCPIT and CCOIC will enhance the service network for businesses, expand the circle of international friends and cement close ties with international organizations and business communities across countries. More platforms for exchanges, cooperation and better commercial legal services will be provided so as to make greater contributions to promoting sustainable development and jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind.
As a side event of the 5th China International Import Expo (CIIE), the forum is co-hosted by the CCPIT and United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and organized by the CCOIC, the SMI China Council, and the World Resources Institute (WRI). The forum was joined online or in person by about 150 people, including foreign envoys to China, heads of international organizations, and representatives from business communities.
