Guided by the principle of "China Action, Asia Voice, Global Standard", it aims to encourage broad participation across society in China's Sustainability commitments, tell the world China's story of climate action, carry Asia's voice on the green transition, deepen international exchange and cooperation on climate change, and take part in shaping and leading international rules.

We are carrying out a vast, frightening experiment of changing every ecological condition, all at once, at a pace that far outstrips Nature’s ability to cope. As we work towards a zero-carbon future, we must work equally towards being Nature-positive.
