The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) recently concluded in Baku, Azerbaijan, bringing together representatives from companies, governments and non-governmental organizations to explore practical solutions to address climate issues.

Invited by the China Environmental Protection Foundation, Tan Liya, director of GreenAnhui Environmental Protection Center, joined four other Chinese peers at the China pavilion event to share her expertise in promoting environmental governance within the new energy vehicle sector.

Tan delivered a keynotes speech highlighting GreenAnhui's research in the environmental challenges facing the new energy vehicle industry. Her recommendations included: assisting companies in better aligning with international environmental, social and governance standards to ensure emission compliance and global competitiveness; guiding companies within new energy supply chains to create scientific carbon neutrality road maps; supporting carbon inventories and emissions management systems, etc.

China pavilion event, hosted by the Chinese delegation, focused on the theme "Empowering Climate Action: Chinese NGOs in Action." It was co-organized by the China Environmental Protection Foundation, the China Association for NGO Cooperation, and the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Foundation.

The organization provides research insights and technical recommendations to refine environmental policies, many of which have been incorporated into national legislation.

GreenAnhui collaborates with high-tech enterprises and industrial parks, delivering training to promote clean technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); green electricity and hydrogen applications; and circular production systems. These initiatives have supported over 100 enterprises in adopting sustainable commercial practices.
