Yantai Shares Low-carbon Development Experience at COP28: Building Changdao Island Into An International Zero-Carbon Island

Zheng also shared the development of Yantai's Changdao Island as a demonstrative "International Zero-Carbon Island." Changdao Island is China's first comprehensive experimental zone for marine ecological civilization, according to him, and measures such as dismantling all wind power facilities on the island, implementing waste classification, ensuring harmless treatment of sewage, and providing clean energy heating throughout the island have resulted in significant improvements in the ecological environment. The municipal government of Yantai has established a research team led by three academicians with the goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Changdao Island by 20% by 2027, establish a "Zero-Carbon Island" model with global influence by 2030, and become an international zero-carbon island with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the island by 2035.

By building the international zero-carbon island, the coastal city is presenting a changing city from Changdao Island, a progressive China from Yantai and its experience of fighting against climate change for global island cities. 

Yantai is a lovely modern coastal city with moutains, sea, islands, springs and rivers, Zheng added. It is the origin of Shandong cuisine and the only International Vine and Wine City in Asia. As a Chinese saying goes, seeing is believing. In his remarks, Zheng welcomed friends from home and abroad to visit Yantai, a coastal city of fairyland. He believed that they would fall in love with the city.
