Recently, the 8th Asia-Pacific Energy Sustainable Development High-Level Forum, hosted by the APEC Sustainable Energy Center (APSEC), was successfully held. The theme of this forum was “Digital Energy and Carbon, Innovating the Future.” CTC was invited to attend the meeting and was awarded the title of “APEC Sustainable City Cooperation Network Member Unit.”

The “APEC Sustainable City Cooperation Network” is an important part of the “APEC Partnership on Urbanization” initiative. It focuses on using cities as carriers to promote the transfer and application of energy technologies and realize low-carbon energy transformation in cities. The cooperation network was approved at the 2014 APEC Economic Leaders' Informal Meeting, and the 2015 APEC meeting documents designated APSEC as the official implementing agency of this Leaders' initiative. The meeting held that, as the global energy crisis becomes increasingly severe, the APEC Energy Working Group and APSEC should seize opportunities, face challenges directly, strengthen their own research capabilities, and improve their internationalization and professional operation levels. They should continue to play a role in advancing common goals such as energy security, addressing the climate crisis, and promoting sustainable economic growth, explore energy development paths suited to the conditions of different economies, and create more well-being for the people of the Asia-Pacific region.

At the meeting, CTC actively discussed the construction and promotion ideas for comprehensive and typical low-carbon city indicators under the Sustainable City Cooperation Network, as well as the cooperation plans and transformation paths of the APSEC partnership network, and provided practical suggestions.

CTC has always been committed to exploring green and low-carbon development paths. Being selected for the APEC Sustainable City Cooperation Network this time will lay a good foundation for enhancing the company's soft power in the Asia-Pacific region. CTC will actively leverage the role and advantages of a third-party inspection and certification service institution, and contribute Chinese solutions to sustainable city construction in the Asia-Pacific region together with APSEC and member units.
