As a key initiative under the "Belt and Road" Low-Carbon Technology Innovation Cooperation Alliance, the program brings together 22 participants from 11 countries along the Belt and Road route. It aims to cultivate a cohort of professionals in the low-carbon technology field with a global perspective, equipping them with technical knowledge and practical understanding of green and low-carbon solutions across various application scenarios and development models.
The program also seeks to establish a sustained dialogue and cooperation mechanism, fostering long-term exchanges and collaboration. It promotes the sharing of technology, research outcomes, talent, and industrial resources. By leveraging replicable and scalable experiences, the initiative is expected to support the implementation of influential, exemplary, and representative low-carbon projects.
