About us: Energy Strategy Research Center, Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion (GIEC), CAS, Established in 2003 An interface between technology, economy, society and environment Its aim is to enlarge the science and technically oriented disciplinary spectrum of the GIEC domain by contributing to research and teaching in energy policy and economics. Host the Guangdong CDM Center Host the South China Climate Change Network

About us: The Energy Strategy Research Center are engaged in: Energy policy and development strategy plan. Evaluation of sustainable energy technologies. Some measures and policies for the preferential energy technologies and energy efficiency technologies are discussed to ensure their diffusion and industrialization. Research on energy security and climate change, e.g. low-carbon economy development and CDM capacity building: Policies and strategies of energy security and climate change; Analysis and research on climate change useful technical innovation diffusion model; Potential and cost analysis of GHG emission reduction technologies.

Dilemma for Guangdong GDP Env’t

Guangdong Low Carbon Practice Guangdong Party secretary, Mr. Wangyang called for economy transition toward sustainable development In 2008 Guangdong Policy Research Centre organized one workshop for policymakers In August 2009, SPF project kick-off meeting by GIEC In October 2009, Low carbon summit by GIEC and WWF On Jan 18, 2009, New business model under low carbon economy, Foshan Department of Science and Technology, GIEC On Jan 26, 2010, Low carbon Development Opportunities and Challenges workshop by Guangzhou DRC and Guangzhou State Assets Management and Supervision Commission On Jan 26, 2010, Low Carbon Development Strategy for business, Guangzhou economic and trade commission, WWF One of the five pilot provinces/municipal in low carbon development planning: NDRC

Low carbon planning in cities Guangzhou Green economy put forward in 2010 Guangzhou congress meeting Guangzhou new and renewable energy planning approved by Guangzhou government on 26th, May In Oct, 2009, Low carbon development experience sharing with Japan, Guangzhou Economic and Trade Commission Shenzhen Shenzhen government issued many incentive mechanisms to encourage retrofitting of building, development of solar energy, electric vehicles. Shenzhen Energy Group launched Asian Carbon Exchange Market. Shenzhen DRC commissioned GIEC and Urban Development Research Institute to work out low carbon development planning

What Our expectation is throught this visit?

What Our Expectations are from this Visit Building the low-carbon roadmap plan Recommending policymaking package Help to integrate the low-carbon plan into the 12th Five-Year Plan Domestic:

What Our Expectations are from this Visit Learning and understanding experience and institutional innovation in U.S in GHG mitigation and low-carbon development Facilitation for technology transfer Let U.S. experts know that China is making efforts in its mitigation action, but international experience sharing is needed to make effective progress Establish a wide relationship with the U.S. counterparts and those who are interested in China’s action plan International:
