The 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), which attracted worldwide attention, closed in Glasgow, UK, in the evening of 13th November local time. After nearly two weeks of debates and negotiations on how to tackle climate change in joint efforts, around 200 countries adopted the Glasgow Climate Pact and made promises for further actions.

Extensive power cuts have and are continuing to cripple critical industrial outputs and create instability for the business landscape in China. With increased pressure from authorities to meet targets for energy reduction, the current power shortages experienced across the nation are at the forefront of China’s Carbon neutrality ambitions to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Issues are exacerbated by insufficient new energies power supply and surging prices of coal/gas that increase costs for power producers that will likely to persist this coming winter. However, we need to ensure that there is a balance between Energy Security and China’s long term carbon neutrality targets through a more sustainable approach.

Europe’s Transformation towards Sustainable Chemistry
With the EU Commission presidency of Ursula von der Leyen in 2019, the European Green Deal was announced to transform the EU economy into a climate-neutral and sustainable economy and to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals SDGs. One important part of the European Green Deal is the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) which is bringing in fundamentally new concepts like Safe and Sustainable by-Design and Essential Use as a legal requirement. Further on well-established concepts mainly under the REACH Regulation and CLP Regulation will be strengthened resulting in decisive restrictions of entire substance groups. This seminar will discuss the latest developments since the publication of the CSS in October 2020 with two experts from Merck.

China is in the midst of one of the most serious power shortages in a decade, with 22 provinces employing varying degrees of load-shedding measures. The large-scale power crunch that ensued has raised the alarm to both government authorities and businesses. For a market that has largely maintained power supply security during two decades of robust growth, it is astonishing to observe the scale of this current power shortage.
