We’ve been working in China since 1991 with a variety of partners to tackle climate change and pollution. Here’s an overview of the work we do:

Carbon pricing and emissions trading

• Improve carbon market design, data quality and policy coordination.

Industrial low-carbon transition

• Assist key industries like steel, cement and petrochemicals in cutting emissions.
• Promote green finance and policy support to meet China’s carbon neutrality goals.

Cutting methane emissions

• Use science and technology to reduce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
• Host the annual China Methane Summit to share solutions and drive action.

Clean air innovation

• Develop mobile and satellite-based air pollution monitoring systems.
• Partner with cities to build smart, local air quality tracking networks.

Climate-smart agriculture

• Work with farmers and food companies to reduce emissions and boost resilience.
• Support sustainable farming through training, finance and global partnerships.

Regional energy transition

• Lead the “Beautiful Yellow River 2035” project to balance energy, water, food and ecology in one of China’s most climate-sensitive regions.

Corporate partnerships

• Promote green supply chains by helping companies reduce pollution and improve sustainability.
• Collaborate with businesses to meet environmental goals.

Climate-resilient oceans and fisheries
