On the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, Friends of the Earth (HK) (FoE(HK)), in collaboration with the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), released the Global City Green and Low-Carbon Transparency Index (CGTI) at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30). The inaugural CGTI evaluation systematically assessed 30 cities across six continents — including both international and Chinese cities — evaluating their performance in monitoring, supervision, and information disclosure across four key dimensions: environment, climate, ecology, and transition development.

The third-phase report of the Chinese City Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Index systematically evaluates the progress of 110 key cities toward their "Dual Carbon" action across three dimensions: climate ambition, low-carbon status, and emission trends. Beijing claimed the top spot with outstanding performance in climate ambition and low-carbon status, followed by Chengdu, Ningbo, and Shenzhen ranking second to fourth respectively. Cities including Kunming, Shanghai, and Guangzhou also secured positions in the top ten.

The "Chinese City Carbon Peak & Carbon Neutrality Index Summary Report (2021-2022)" systematically evaluate the development of “dual carbon” action within 110 Chinese cities through three dimensions, climate ambition, low-carbon status, and emission reduction trends. The results indicate that Shenzhen is on the top of the list, followed by Chengdu and Qingdao. The rest of the top ten cities are Beijing, Ningbo, Wuhan, Xiamen, Kunming, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Ningbo, Yancheng, Jiangmen and Weihai have made improvements when comparing the score last year. The score of Lianyungang and Wenzhou drops and Yulin, Ma’anshan, Rizhao, Wuhu and Jincheng have low rankings.

The "Chinese City Carbon Peak & Carbon Neutrality Index Summary Report(2020-2021)" was released recently. Through a comprehensive evaluation of climate ambition, low-carbon status, and emission reduction trends, it was confirmed that among the 110 key cities involved in the initial evaluation, eastern developed cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and central and western cities such as Wuhan and Chengdu are leading the national "dual carbon" action.
