To continuously track China's progress in addressing climate change, following the release of the report China's Pragmatic Actions to Address Global Climate Change at the COP28 conference in Dubai, the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) have once again joined forces. They have reviewed the important climate policies formulated and released by China in recent years and compiled 57 exemplary practices involving multi-stakeholder participation from the government, enterprises, and the public in addressing climate change. These practices summarize China's experiences in green transformation and achievements in low-carbon technology from ten aspects, supporting the nation’s dual carbon actions and high-quality development, while also providing valuable insights and references for other developing countries globally.

October 31, 2024 - The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) published the 7th annual Corporate Climate Action CATI evaluation report in Beijing, highlighting that Chinese and foreign companies are stepping up climate action. Leading companies have required suppliers to conduct carbon management and data disclosure at facility-level, empower them to extend climate governance to upstream supply chain, and motivated them to reduce carbon emissions.

IPE and PECC released the first year’s Climate Action CATI evaluation results of the photovoltaic (PV) listed company. The report indicates that many PV listed companies are actively responding to the requirements of the dual-carbon policy, implementing energy-saving and emission reduction projects, and carrying out green transformation along the industrial chain. Report also suggests that the majority of PV listed companies need to benchmark themselves against industrial leaders to improve corporate and supply chain climate governance. We thus call for multi-stakeholders to jointly advance the zero carbon supply chains in the PV industry.

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) released the evaluation results of the 2023 Listed Company Climate Action CATI Index. The report indicates that overall China's listed companies have made progress in climate action. IPE believes that this 2023 CATI evaluation is a systematic background investigation before the release of the new rules on listed company ESG information disclosure, and to a certain extent, reflects the "baseline" of climate disclosure of listed companies.

The Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES), the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) and Friends of the Earth (HK) have set up a joint research team to study and publish the report China's Pragmatic Actions to Address Global Climate Change. By taking stock of the ten major actions taken by China to respond to climate change and fulfil the carbon peaking and neutrality commitment, the research team analyzed how the nation has developed a top-level design centered on the formulation of the "1+N" policy system, formed an overall strategy to actively and steadily promote carbon neutrality, and guided the participation of the provinces and cities, industrial sectors and the wider society to carry out pragmatic emission reduction measures. The research team believes that China has made positive progress in the implementation of the "dual carbon" commitment and the Paris Agreement, and that there is significant potential for accelerated progress.
