社会影响力计划–绿色发展主题研讨会

Social Impact Initiative Seminar Series: 

Green Development

中国美国商会于6月20日下午召开了2022-2023年社会影响力计划–绿色发展主题研讨会，与来自生态环境部环境与经济政策研究中心、中国循环经济协会、清华大学、联合国开发计划署驻华代表处（UNDP）、联合国全球契约组织（UNGC）、世界资源研究所的代表们以及来自不同行业的17位企业代表们就企业在助力中国绿色低碳发展中扮演的角色展开分享与讨论。

On June 20, AmCham China held the 2022-2023 Social Impact Initiative – Green Development Working Session with representatives from the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the China Association of Circular Economy, Tsinghua University, United Nations Development Program  in China (UNDP), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), World Resources Institute, as well as 17 business representatives from different industries to share and discuss the role of corporations in contributing to China’s green and low-carbon development.

中国美国商会副总裁马琼娜女士致开场辞。她表示，双碳目标的提出对于中国来说意味着中国即将迎来一场绿色工业革命。中国美国商会和我们的会员公司一直在积极地参与这一进程。美国企业愿从节能增效、数字科技、碳捕捉、环境治理等多方面分享知识，并用他们的商品和服务帮助中国建设更加环保可持续的社会经济体系。

Claire Ma, Vice President of AmCham China, delivered opening remarks. In her speech, she mentioned that the introduction of the dual carbon target means that China is on the verge of a green industrial revolution. AmCham China and our member companies have been actively engaged in this process. US companies share their knowledge on energy conservation and efficiency, digital technology, carbon capture, and environmental governance, and use their goods and services to help China build a more environmentally sustainable socioeconomic system.

生态环境部环境与经济政策研究中心高级工程师李媛媛向与会者介绍了中国减污降碳协同增效的进程、相关政策和企业参与机遇。她提到，减污降碳协同增效的内涵是同时控制温室气体排放和其他局域传统污染物排放，其主要路径在于综合实施加强源头防控、重点领域管理、优化环境治理、强化政策支撑等措施。

Li Yuanyuan, Senior Engineer at the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy introduced the process of China's synergistic effects of pollution alleviation and carbon reduction, relevant policies, and opportunities for enterprises to participate. She mentioned that the essence of the synergetic effects of pollution alleviation and carbon reduction is to control greenhouse gas emissions and other local traditional pollutant emissions at the same time, and its main path lies in the comprehensive implementation of measures to strengthen source prevention and control, reinforce key areas of management, optimize environmental governance, and strengthen policy support. 

中国循环经济协会碳达峰碳中和工作委员会秘书长刘翠玲分享了发展循环经济和提升资源利用效率等知识。接下来，双碳目标下发展循环经济的工作重点包括发展资源循环型产业体系、推进资源综合利用、加强城市典型废弃物循环利用、推进生活垃圾减量化资源化等。

Liu Cuiling, Secretary General of the Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Committee of the China Association of Circular Economy, shared her knowledge on the development of circular economy and the enhancement of resource utilization efficiency. Moving forward, the priorities circular economy development is to build a resource-cycling-based industrial system, promote the comprehensive utilization of resources, strengthen the recycling of typical urban wastes, and promote the minimization and resourcing of domestic waste.

清华大学公管学院国际发展与全球治理所所长高宇宁教授从跨国公司的角色和ESG发展的角度向与会者讲解了SDG时代的企业绿色转型。他提到跨国企业为全球经贸发展贡献约一半的出口额、三分之一的GDP总量、四分之一的就业岗位、五分之一的碳排放量。因此，跨国企业在回应联合国提出的可持续发展目标（SDG）上面临复杂的机遇与挑战。

Professor Gao Yuning, Director of the Institute of International Development and Global Governance, School of Public Policy & Management at Tsinghua University, explained to the participants corporate green transformation in the SDG era from the angles of the role of multinational corporations and ESG development. He mentioned that multinational enterprises contribute about half of exports, one-third of total GDP, one-quarter of jobs, and one-fifth of carbon emissions to global economic and trade development. Therefore, they face complex opportunities and challenges in responding to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations. 

来自联合国开发计划署的Violante di Canossa谈到了UNDP在中国低碳转型中起到的角色。她强调，低碳转型不是一种成本，而是对我们共同未来的一种投资，它也符合中国的愿景和优先策略，包括2030-2060年的双碳目标。近年来，联合国开发计划署还发布了《可持续发展投融资支持项目目录》和《可持续发展目标投资者地图中国篇》，为公众提供了有关中国绿色转型进展的知识。

Violante di Canossa from UNDP talked about the role of UNDP in the low carbon transition in China. She stressed that the low-carbon transition is not a cost, but can be seen as an investment in our collective future, and it also aligns with China’s visions and priorities, including the 2030-2060 dual carbon goals. UNDP has also published the Technical Report on SDG Finance Taxonomy and the SDG Investor Map in China Summary Report in recent years, providing the public insights about the knowledge about the green transition progress in China.

随后，企业代表们就跨国企业在推动中国绿色发展进程中所扮演的角色和挑战展开讨论。他们表示跨国公司在全球范围内各个领域的低碳转型皆发挥着积极的作用，包括参与当地绿色行业标准制定和带动上下游企业的绿色升级。

The business representatives then held discussions on the role and challenges of multinational enterprises in promoting green development in China. Multinational corporations are playing an active role in the global low-carbon transition in various fields, including participating in the development of local green industry standards and driving the green upgrading of upstream and downstream enterprises.

中国美国商会于 2020 年 7 月启动了社会影响计划 (SII)。该项目的核心原则是我们相信企业在帮助中国实现其发展目标方面可以发挥重要作用，而中国美国商会的会员企业在此方面极具优势。秉持分享、贡献、合作、共赢的理念，SII今年将继续聚焦数字经济、绿色发展和乡村振兴三个领域，探索公共部门与企业合作的机会。在接下来的几个月里，我们将组织更多相关主题活动。我们欢迎中外企业、政府和非政府组织、学术机构和行业协会加入我们的社会影响力之旅。

AmCham China has launched an innovative Social Impact Initiative (SII) in July 2020.  The core principle driving this Initiative is our belief that the private sector has a meaningful role to play in helping China to achieve its development goals and that AmCham China members are uniquely qualified to help. 

With the spirit to Share, Commit, Collaborate, and Win-win, we will continue exploring new public-private partnership opportunities under the realms of Digital Economy, Green Development, and Rural Revitalization. We will organize more events underpinning the three themes in the upcoming months. We welcome both Chinese and foreign companies, governmental and non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and industry associations to join our social impact journey.
