In the context of slowing economic growth and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) aims to achieve green development and harmony between humans and nature.
This project supports China in designing an effective environmental and nature conservation governance system to promote the transformation towards a low-carbon economy in line with the climate goals recently set by the Chinese government. This will be done by exchanging experiences, providing advice and facilitating research and technical cooperation on prevention and control of environmental pollution, sustainable consumption and production, cooperation on biodiversity, and further topics derived from the environmental and nature conservation dialogue in synergy with climate policy measures in line with the Paris Agreement.
