Over 120 guests from around the world including Matthew Pencharz, who is the deputy Mayor of London, gathered at the event, according to the event organizers.
The forum is a platform for government, business leaders and professionals to present policy initiatives, technology solutions, design practices and community efforts to support carbon emission reduction, said the organizers.
Global experts exchanged ideas such as how to deal with problems under the COP21 agreements, opportunities and challenges in the carbon reduction industry and companies' responsibilities in the carbon emission reduction process.
The Lingang authorities have long been committed to promoting carbon reduction in the region. The Lingang Carbon Valley, which was jointly developed by Low Carbon Community Ltd (UK) and Shanghai Lingang New City Investment & Construction Co, was put into operation in early 2016.
The platform serves as a technology research and sharing center, new concept promotion and demonstration base, education and low carbon business incubator in Shanghai.
As a part of Lingang's carbon reduction plan, CleanPath China smart accelerator innovation center was formally introduced to the public in the forum on April 14. The center will provide incubation services to low-carbon technology developers in the world.
