The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Southwest China Chapter is delighted to invite you to join the The Fifth International High-Level Forum on Sustainable Urban Development in Chengdu.

中国欧盟商会西南分会诚邀您参加将于成都举办的“第五届国际城市可持续发展高层论坛”。

Background 论坛背景

Climate change is a global challenge that calls for global commitment and action. The international community has reached a consensus on the need to transition to a post-carbon society and economy. China has already pledged to reach peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Underscoring the global urgency, the UN Secretary General called for carbon neutrality by 2050.

This year’s Fifth International High-Level Forum on Sustainable Urban Development, co-hosted as before by the China Center for Urban Development (CCUD), UN-Habitat and the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government, will be dedicated to exploring urban pathways to carbon neutrality.

The Forum aims to explore innovative pathways and modalities for cooperation for global and local climate action to achieve green, inclusive and balanced development in cities and regions around the world.

With Chengdu as the venue, the theme of this year’s Forum, “Park Cities for a Carbon-Neutral Future”, we hope to share ideas, practices and wisdom for sustainable development at home and abroad.

Hereby we sincerely invite you to attend this forum.

应对气候变化已成为全球性挑战和全人类的共同事业，碳达峰碳中和目标引领下的绿色低碳转型已凝聚起强大的国际共识。我国提出的“3060”目标，更是在持续为减缓气候变化影响做贡献的基础上，按下了减碳的加速键。

为探讨实现碳中和的最佳路径，分享国内外城市对标碳中和、碳达峰等可持续发展目标的创新理念及优良实践，中国城市和小城镇改革发展中心将与联合国人类住区规划署、成都市人民政府共同主办“第五届国际城市可持续发展高层论坛”。论坛将以“公园城市迈向碳中和”为主题，为促进全球绿色、低碳、可持续发展贡献智慧和范式。

我们诚挚邀请您拨冗出席论坛。
