International
Climate Initiative (IKI)

With its nationally determined contribution (NDC), China has committed to achieving its CO2 emissions target and a transformation to a climate-friendly economy by 2030. The Jiangsu region is seeking to achieve this target even earlier, but to do so it needs support in planning integrated energy systems. The project supports the “Jiangsu Development and Reform Commission” in developing holistic energy strategies that are adapted to the needs of cities and industrial sectors. The focus of the project is on consulting services for integrated, innovative energy systems, particularly with regard to energy and material flows, increased energy efficiency and renewable energies. In its third phase, the project aims to make the results of the two previous projects sustainably accessible. To achieve this, a local institute will be set up to further develop and disseminate experience./
