Chengdu: Integrate Green and Low-carbon Into the Blood of Urban Development

Green is the background color of a city, and green and low-carbon development is also the direction of future urban development. As the first city referred to as "Park City" and a national-level low-carbon pilot city, in recent years, Chengdu has practiced the new development philosophy, innovated and explored the layout of low-carbon industry and carried out carbon-reduction actions, and achieved outstanding results.

Since approved as a national-level low-carbon pilot city in China 4 years ago, Chengdu has accelerated the comprehensive green transformation of its economic and social development. Through the continuous development of its green and low-carbon industry, energy, and consumption system, the city's carbon emission intensity has been constantly decreasing, the energy structure has been continuously optimized, and the urban environment has become more livable. It has been awarded as the first batch the "Global Pioneer City of Green and Low-Carbon Blue Sky Award"... Green and low-carbon is gradually becoming the most distinctive feature and advantage of Chengdu.

Now, the sky in Chengdu is bluer and the air is fresher. People relax and get close to nature in the twittering of birds and the fragrance of flowers. On the road of practicing green and low-carbon development, Chengdu's still striving forward.
