Where WeCarbon shows up
Showing up where climate policy, capital, and technology meet — from Shanghai Climate Week to the UN climate conference, standard-setting, and the world's stage.


Shanghai Climate Week
Initiated by more than a thousand ecosystem partners worldwide, supported by the United Nations and the Chinese government, and joined by government, business, academia and civil society, Shanghai Climate Week is a climate-action exchange and cooperation platform of global influence, built with the city of Shanghai as its backdrop. 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.
