This report marks the first anniversary of China's green finance reform and innovation pilot zones, providing a comprehensive overview of progress across five pilot provinces. It examines the policy framework, institutional mechanisms, and innovative practices developed in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, and Xinjiang pilot zones. The report finds that while green credit has grown significantly, low-carbon considerations remain underdeveloped in pilot plans. It recommends unified certification standards for green projects, integration of environmental quality indicators into performance assessments, and stronger linkages between green finance pilots and China's low-carbon city pilot program.

This infographic provides a detailed table showing 36 pilot cities' peak-year targets, leadership, and progress on greenhouse gas inventories, roadmaps, and action plans. It notes that cities with dedicated low-carbon funding are more likely to engage in relevant policy research.

This factsheet is a compilation (of the first two batches of national low-carbon pilot cities and their involvement in other related pilot programs. It invites corrections if any information is incomplete or misinterpreted.

This infographic that Wuhan has achieved a relative decoupling of economic growth from CO₂ emissions. It attributes this progress to consistent low-carbon policies and actions implemented over the previous eight years.

This infographic outlines Wuhan's economic and energy profile, highlighting challenges like limited fossil fuels and high industrial emissions. It details sector-specific strategies in industry, transport, and buildings to reduce carbon intensity and improve environmental quality through renewable energy, public transit expansion, and stricter efficiency standards.

This report presents findings from a public awareness survey on low-carbon cities conducted in 20 Chinese cities ranked by the LOGIC index. The survey of 2,000 respondents reveals that while 83% of the public know about low-carbon concepts, understanding of specific meanings remains limited. Key findings include 77% satisfaction with their city's low-carbon performance, 96% support for government low-carbon policies, and varying participation levels in low-carbon behaviors. The report identifies that citizens are more willing to adopt low-cost behavioral changes while participation in higher-cost actions remains lower, providing policy recommendations for enhancing public engagement in urban decarbonization efforts.
