A new plan to make big events more green was started in Futian District yesterday. This happened on World Environment Day. Event planners, like those for the Greater Bay Area Flower Show and the Shenzhen Marathon, promised to make their events carbon neutral.
In the same time, the Shenzhen Emissions Exchange said it will make a new system. This system will help event planners buy carbon offset products in a clear and easy way.
Shenzhen is working hard to lower carbon emissions and be more green. The city is one of China’s 25 pilot cities to cut carbon emissions. By the end of last year, Shenzhen had made 128 green factories. This year, the city will start green projects in 100 industrial parks.
Near-zero carbon projects
Shenzhen has 88 near-zero carbon projects. These include parks, buildings, and schools.
At the Shenzhen North Railway Station, there is a sunflower-shaped solar panel. This panel follows the sun and makes more energy. It is part of a green energy project at the station.
New tech at the Futian power building saves 420,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. This is like planting 10,000 trees.
Carbon trading
Shenzhen is finding new ways to be green. Carbon trading is one way. It limits how much carbon can be released.
In 2011, seven Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, started carbon trading programs. Shenzhen was the first to launch its market in 2013. This made China the first developing country to have a carbon trading market.
In ten years, Shenzhen’s carbon trading market traded over 100 million tons of carbon. It is a leader in carbon trading in China.
Community actions
Shenzhen encourages people to join green actions. The Shenzhen Mangrove Wetlands Conservation Foundation had 1,615 activities last year with over 82,961 people. They also taught students about mangroves.
The Shenzhen OCT Hua Ecological Environment Protection Foundation shares green ideas and tech. It runs zero-waste programs and lectures. Over 4 million residents now value nature and live greener lives.
