The First China-France Carbon Neutrality Center Summer School

Event Background

On November 24, 2023, senior representatives from China and France attended the 6th China-France High-Level People-to-People Exchange Mechanism Meeting and the launch ceremony of the China-France Carbon Neutrality Center. The first carbon neutrality center jointly established by the Chinese government and a foreign government was officially launched, sending a positive signal for China and France to strengthen cooperation in green science and technology and join hands to address climate change. In the future, the governments, universities, research institutions, and enterprises of China and France will deepen cooperation in the field of carbon neutrality and continue to expand the people-to-people exchange mechanism.

To solidly advance carbon peaking actions and empower young people with insights and leadership in climate emission reduction, the CEADs team of the China Emissions Accounts and Datasets has successfully held five carbon accounting summer camps. Against the backdrop of increasingly deepening China-France cooperation, and to further strengthen China-France cooperation and people-to-people exchanges in the field of carbon neutrality, the CEADs team will hold the inaugural China-France Carbon Neutrality Center Summer School and the 2024 CEADs Carbon Accounting Database Summer Camp. The event will invite many renowned academicians and experts to provide lectures and guidance on the theories and practice of carbon peaking, carbon neutrality, and carbon accounting for young faculty members and graduate students from China and France, covering topics such as carbon footprint accounting, carbon reduction pathways, CCER, and carbon markets. Through group activities, participating young faculty members and students will also study dual-carbon transition pathways in different countries, regions, and cities, and discuss the social and economic impacts of climate change in depth. The event aims to implement the guiding spirit of the carbon neutrality strategy, cultivate international talent in carbon emission reduction, and build a reserve of young carbon neutrality professionals for China and France.

This year, the organizers will take the campers to Harbin, known as the Oriental Paris, to experience its unique ice-and-snow charm and century-old cultural heritage while hosting an international and diverse academic feast there.
