Call for applications

To advance the dual-carbon agenda and empower young people with insights and leadership in climate mitigation, the China Emission Accounts and Datasets team (CEADs) has successfully held five carbon accounting summer camps since 2016. The program has received broad attention and strong support from policymakers, administrators, researchers, and young scholars in China and abroad, and its influence in both policy and academic circles continues to grow.

CEADs is committed to making the summer camp a signature program that nurtures well-rounded talent with strong professional skills and practical ability for the 2030/2060 carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

This summer, the CEADs team will continue to host the 6th Summer Camp, bringing together domestic and international experts and scholars to build a training curriculum, provide systematic guidance in carbon accounting methodologies, practical guidelines, and case-based teaching, and create a public-interest training model that supports the growth of dual-carbon talent.

Talent is the foundation of every enduring enterprise. We welcome governments, universities, and companies interested in co-hosting a public-interest summer camp and committed to cultivating and supporting young talent for China’s dual-carbon cause to contact us and help build a broader platform for education and development.
