The "Chinese City Carbon Peak and 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.

To guide the public in practicing a low-carbon lifestyle, IPE has developed a Form for Calculating Emission Reductions from Individual Daily Activities based on extensive research and analysis, which covers 41 common low-carbon behaviors.

气候变化背景下，极端高温是否会成为常态？

Under the guidance of the "1+N" policy framework, China has successively put forward a series of policy objectives for the power industry, especially for coal-fired power planning. The future development of coal-fired power needs to consider the requirements of low-carbon emission reduction and security, including: gradually changing from a high-carbon power source to a low-carbon or zero-carbon power source, withdrawing in an orderly manner and shifting its role from the primary power source to that of sustaining energy security. Listed enterprises in the power sector, with its leading installed capacity in coal-fired power need to lead in this low-carbon transition.

Chinese Province Carbon Peak & Carbon Neutrality Index Summary Report(2021-2022) aims to identify the advantages, priorities, difficulties and potentials of "dual carbon" management in each province, municipality and autonomous region by scientifically evaluating the "dual carbon" situation, and promoting the efforts of each province and municipality to find the right solution based on their environmental resource endowment, their own industrial structure and socio-economic development stage. The report hence helps provinces and municipalities to identify their own position in the "national chessboard" and promote the synergy between dual carbon action and economic development.

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) released the evaluation results of its 2022 Listed Company Corporate Climate Action (CATI) Index. The report indicates that with the influence of “dual carbon” goals, a number of Chinese listed companies are actively responding to climate change, conducting climate-related information disclosure, and promoting synergistic reduction in pollution and carbon emissions, in order to accelerate corporate low-carbon transformation.

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) today released the evaluation results of its 2022 Corporate Climate Action (CATI) Index. The report indicates that in spite of the global challenges, a number of local and global companies have undertaken the tasks of pollution control and emissions reduction, driving low-carbon transformation in their supply chain and contributing to global climate governance.
