Next Stay Close ✕ The report was officially released at the seminar on China's 'Green and Low-Carbon Development: Vision and Action', which was jointly hosted by Tsinghua ICCSD and Global Times Online in Beijing, China. More than 30 representatives from international organisations, such as the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the European Commission, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Harvard University, attended the event. They witnessed the release of the report and engaged in in-depth discussions on China's green and low-carbon practices, opportunities for international cooperation, and global climate governance. The report not only summarised the logic and achievements of China's green transition but also systematically reviewed the country's policy framework, domestic actions, and international cooperation under the dual carbon goals. Through case studies and strategic recommendations, the report provides replicable practices for developing countries and unveils Chinese insights to global climate governance. The report features five exemplary case studies, illustrating China's multifaceted pathways to green and low-carbon development. One case is the China-Africa agricultural cooperation. The report highlights efforts such as those made by the team led by globally renowned Chinese agronomist Yuan Longping to promote hybrid rice in Madagascar. In recognition of China's efforts to help Africa enhance food security and climate resilience, the achievements of the team's hybrid rice demonstration project were even featured on the local currency. Another case focuses on the transformation of the power sector. China was developing a new energy-dominated power system, guiding the transition of coal-fired power plants towards flexible peak-load regulation through policy support and technological innovation. Green finance innovation was also a key area highlighted in the report. Huzhou, a city in east China's Zhejiang Province and one of the country's first green finance pilot zones, has established a digital platform and standardised system to support sustainable finance. In ecological governance, China's project to stabilise the edge of the Taklamakan Desert has built a 3,000-kilometer green shelterbelt over 40 years, pioneering a "who invests, who benefits" model for desertification control, while driving the growth of local industries. The report introduces state-owned enterprise transformation with the China Energy Investment Corporation (China Energy) facilitating the transition of high-carbon assets into low-carbon benchmarks through coal-fired power modernisation, renewable energy expansion, and innovative technology applications. The research report aimed to highlight China's practical achievements in harmonizing green growth with economic development, stressing the country's commitment to deepening international cooperation in an open and inclusive manner and providing guidance for stakeholders concerned with green and low-carbon transition and global climate governance. At the seminar, experts from both China and abroad discussed the progress of global climate governance and China's growing role in driving green transitions. They emphasised China's dual-track approach to international cooperation—North-South and South-South—, which contributed to China's solutions to building a fair and equitable global climate governance framework. Representatives from various industries also shared practical experiences. A delegation from Wuxi city in east China's Jiangsu Province introduced the city's 'Eight Major Action Measures' for Taihu Lake Governance, which ensure regional drinking water safety and prevent lake eutrophication. A representative from CRCC Development Group Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of China Railway Construction Corporation Limited, shared on desertification control efforts in Hetian, Xinjiang, demonstrating how developing the sand industry can supports both ecological restoration and economic growth. It's widely believed that the seminar and release of the report has provided a valuable platform for international exchange among experts and scholars and offered insights and solutions for advancing green and low-carbon development.

They moved in an orderly fashion to the beat of drums, performing as they walked and turning the one-mile-long street into a grand stage. At the main venue, performances such as stilt-walking, yangko, dragon dances, lion dances, and drumming took turns to showcase their unique skills, highlighting the artistic appeal of these traditions. A notable feature of this year's temple fair was the increased participation of young people in community performances. Participants ranged from 4-year-old children to teenagers, injecting new vitality into the ancient festival. Xun County's Shehuo has a history of over 1,000 years and is recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. The performance roles are derived from folk legends, historical accounts, traditional operas, and literary works, and are given new life through the innovations introduced by the performers. Xun County, Henan Province, known as the hometown of Chinese folk art, is famous for its ancient temple fairs. These fairs are renowned for their long history, rich cultural significance, far-reaching influence, and enduring vitality. The temple fairs last for a month, with the Dapishan Temple Fair opening on the ninth day of the first lunar month and the Fuqiu Mountain Temple Fair, held on the 16th day, being the most historic and famous.

Other historical sites, such as the ancient city walls and the Wenzhi Pavilion, provide a strong foundation for the preservation of traditional culture. In recent years, Xun County has vigorously developed its cultural tourism. The image of the ancient city, with its blend of mountains, water, and sightseeing opportunities, has been renewed through the temple fairs, transforming this destination into a new tourist highlight, especially during the Spring Festival. 'Temple fairs are a grand gathering of people, culture, and commodity trade, extending the reunion culture of the Spring Festival to the entire society, from family reunions to social reunions,' said Qiao Taishan, director of the Central Plains Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Institute and consultant to the Henan Folk Artists Association. 'Harmony and reunion are the core of Spring Festival culture. Our culture's pursuit of harmony is the confidence that drives Chinese traditional culture to go global,' Qiao added. The Fuqiu Mountain Temple Fair is held on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month each year. Community performance troupes from surrounding areas of Xun County also gather to enjoy this millennia-old cultural feast.
