"Empowering Green Value Chains,
Contributing to New Productive Forces" Side Event was Successfully
Held at COP29
BAKU,
Azerbaijan, Nov. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The side event titled
"Empowering Green Value Chains, Contributing to New Productive
Forces" was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, during COP29. The event was jointly organized by the
Vanke Foundation, C Team, and Phoenix TV. The aim of the event was
to explore how industries in China
can empower human capital and implement green value chains to
achieve green, efficient, and low-carbon operational models under
the country's dual-carbon strategy. The goal was also to inspire
new productive forces and drive the green transformation of
economic and social development.
The side event brought together experts, scholars, business
representatives, and NGO partners from both China and abroad to discuss the latest global
trends and developments in green value chains across key
industries. The event was chaired by Yang Peidan, Director of C
Team. In her opening remarks, Liu Xi, Senior Manager of Climate
Change and Biodiversity at the Vanke Foundation, highlighted the
foundation's vision of a "beautiful and shared future home" and its
commitment to promoting environmental protection and social public
welfare. She also introduced the "Net Zero Drive" Talents
Acceleration Initiative, unveiling the "Together We Act" platform,
a significant new step in the foundation's efforts to align with
its strategies.
Liu Yifeng, Deputy Director of C Team, provided an in-depth
introduction to the "Together We Act" platform. This platform aims
to cultivate and empower talents in the field of China's dual-carbon strategy, equipping
individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to better adapt to
and lead the green low-carbon transformation.
C Team is implementing a strategic upgrade to support the
development of emerging industry talents while facilitating the
transition of workers from traditional industries. This initiative
aims to create a green employment market system. According to Liu,
workers in traditional industries need to adapt to the "new wave"
of industry transformation, while employees in emerging sectors
must quickly update their knowledge and skills to keep pace with
technological advancements. Through effective training and
accelerated efforts, industries, businesses, and regions can better
apply technologies and management practices, achieving both
technological and energy transformations.
To this end, C Team has partnered with Tencent to develop the "Together We Act"
platform. The platform breaks down knowledge into "knowledge
cards," which are categorized and tailored for workers in need of
transformation or upskilling. The platform offers smart,
content-driven training and quantitative assessments. By using
algorithms, the platform provides personalized knowledge to users
and includes management features that allow administrators to
assign tasks and learning objectives. Knowledge and exercises are
managed separately, creating a flexible and intelligent learning
system.
Additionally, C Team plans to leverage the data on workforce
technology upgrades and training behaviors collected by the
platform to analyze the impact of dual-transformation policies and
strategies on the workforce in both corporate supply chains and
regional areas. This data will help companies and local governments
better understand workforce trends and provide support for industry
and regional transitions.
Media's role is also essential in promoting new productive
forces. Yang Yuntong, Director of International Cooperation and
Project Operations at Phoenix TV, shared that as the largest
well-rounded Chinese-language cultural media group overseas,
Phoenix TV has long been committed to advancing new productive
forces through practical actions. The group has been actively
involved in climate-change communication in China and has hosted the annual "Zero-Carbon
Mission International Climate Summit" for the past four years in
the lead-up to COP, providing a platform for dialogue and
discussion among stakeholders and influencing corporate practices
and public advocacy.
Xu Shilun, head of the ESG projects at Onewo's Sustainable
Development Center, shared that reducing energy consumption and
carbon emissions in property management are key concerns for the
company. Onewo is integrating its experience from managing various
spaces, such as communities and office buildings, into its "Magic
Stone" AI system, focusing on energy management to improve carbon
management efficiency in public spaces and encourage owners and
tenants to adopt greener lifestyles.
The roundtable discussion focused on two main themes:
"Collaborative Innovation of Diverse Forces in Creating New
Productive Forces" and "Empowering Green Value Chains to Drive the
Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development".
Representatives from leading companies such as JA Solar, Anta
Group, Lenovo, Carbonstop, PES, Exiss, ACT, Dasso, Hainan Deeprock,
and SQUAKE participated in the discussion. The Secretary of the CPC
Municipal Committee of Huzhou City, Chen Hao, also joined via video to introduce the
innovative concept of "Bamboo Forest Carbon Sequestration."
The organizers stated that the side event was not only a deep
exploration of green development concepts but also a firm
commitment to future sustainable development. C Team plans to
further collaborate with nonprofit organizations, environmental
foundations, leading enterprises, research institutions, and
knowledge service platforms to jointly promote public and inclusive
transformation, ensuring that high-quality training content is
presented on the platform. Through collective effort and the
pooling of knowledge and resources, the event sought to support
industry development, regional transformation, and the green
transformation of society.
