China will play a unique and vital role in the effort to keep the global warming temperature increase below 1.5 degrees celsius. At COP21 China committed to having carbon dioxide emissions peak by 2030 or earlier and to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in its primary energy mix to around 20 per cent by that date. The 13th Five Year Plan, which Xinhua News Agency called the “greenest one ever”, provides a foundation for China to reach the targets of the Paris agrement and move towards a more environmentally sustainable growth model. Green finance is also set to play a key role in meeting these commitments which will require an estimated annual investment of RMB 2.9 trillion in green sectors. 

由英中贸易协会、中国英国商会和中国澳大利亚商会将于8月23日下午在北京共同举办研讨会，共同探讨中国在应对气候变化和清洁能源领域所采取的举措。

研讨会将邀请来自英国和澳大利亚大使馆的嘉宾现场分享他们与中国在可持续能源领域合作的心得；来自英国碳信托公司的首席政策分析师Jan van der Ven将分析中国应对气候变化的现行措施及其实现第21届联合国气候变化大会承诺的前景；中国银行将派代表探讨绿色金融和中国的新型绿色债券市场对其气候治理达标的作用；其他业内专家还将就在华开展能源领域业务所面临的趋势变化分享专业见解。

We have invited speakers from the Australian and British embassies to talk about how they work with their Chinese counterparts on sustainable energy issues. Leading policy analyst Jan van der Ven from The Carbon Trust will examine current actions and the prospects of China meeting its COP21 commitments. A representative from the Bank of China will discuss the role of green finance and China’s new green bond market in meeting climate targets and industry experts will share insights into how doing business in the energy sector in China is likely to evolve over the coming years. 

Attendees will be able to exchange their views on the topic of climate change and energy in China and ask questions to the panel of experts. You will also have the opportunity to network with government officials and colleagues from UK and Australian industry.

本次研讨会上，参会者将有机会：

就气候变化和中国能源问题交换看法；

现场咨询行业相关专家；

与政府官员及来自英国和澳大利亚的同业人员交流。

将全球气温增幅控制在1.5摄氏度内，中国将发挥至关重要的作用：

在第21届联合国气候变化大会上，中国承诺其二氧化碳排放量将在2030年或此前达到峰值，并在2030年将其一次能源主体中的非化石能源比重增加到20%左右。

被媒体称为“最典型的绿色发展规划”的 “十三五”规划为中国完成巴黎协定目标并进入更加环保的经济增长模式奠定了基础。

绿色金融对于中国实现上述承诺也十分重要，这也意味着中国环保产业的年投入资金将达到约2.9万亿人民币。
