Jointly hosted by institutions including the China Carbon Label Industry Innovation Alliance (CLIIA), and the committee on low-carbon economy of China Electronics Energy Saving Technology Association (CEESTA), the 3rd Annual Meeting of Carbon Label was held on April 16 in Beijing, which was attended by over 200 representatives from the government, enterprises and academia.

The meeting focused on the evolution process of the carbon label standards system in the past decade, and released the carbon label standards system coordinating infrastructure and industry, which marks China’s solution to global low-carbon transformation.

Carbon labels connect low-carbon production and green consumption, and the conference is a platform to reach consensus and deepen cooperation, said Huang Jianzhong, Chairman of CEESTA, in his speech.

From the perspective of scientific and technological innovation, Fei Weiyang, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences said, “We must make efforts to promote industrial transformation with standards upgrading, and establish low-carbon ecology covering the whole industrial chain.” Green and low-carbon technologies should be applied to achieve major breakthroughs, and work on all aspects of carbon labels and green and low-carbon development should be promoted to ensure the achievement of the dual carbon goals.

At the opening ceremony, the 2.0 version of Guidelines on Carbon Footprint and Carbon Labels in China was released. It specifies the accounting methods of product carbon footprints, providing more operational guidance for enterprises and consumers. The youth-oriented low-carbon science popularization book, Hello, Carbon, was released at the event, which is a crucial step in the popularization of low-carbon education among the public.
