Hey climate warriors 👋, at COP30 in Belém, the China Pavilion hosted a fire session on how local heroes – think provinces, states and cities – are teaming up for global climate wins.
Experts like Deborah Seligsohn (formerly with the U.S. Embassy in China, now at Villanova University) and Hu Bin from Tsinghua University shared fresh research on subnational climate collabs. They highlighted that city alliances, linked carbon markets and green industry partnerships are turning big climate goals into real-world actions. 🚀
The roundtable buzzed with success stories (and a few hurdles) from around the globe, showing how local governments are ramping up emissions cuts, green transitions and climate resilience. It’s all about dynamic, on-the-ground innovation that fuels the bigger climate governance engine. 🔋💡
Looking ahead, the call is clear: build stronger cross-regional platforms, boost policy & tech exchanges, and dive deeper into energy transition, sustainable infrastructure and climate finance. Because when cities and regions unite, magic happens. ✨
Stay tuned as these local climate champs take their game to the next level, inspiring communities from Jakarta to Dhaka to embrace a greener future! 🌱
