Supporting the climate-friendly development of Jiangsu Province – Phase III

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 supported 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 was 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 aimed to make the results of the two previous projects sustainably accessible. To achieve this, a local institute was set up to further develop and disseminate experience.

State of implementation/results

Project completed.
During the first forum of the low-carbon networking event series held in Nanjing on May 20, 2022, Jiangsu Province's perspective on the national 2030/2060 targets was presented. Participants from agencies involved in carbon emission reduction commented and discussed specific policy implementation measures with the speaker.
For the International Solar Decathlon (SDC) 2021, the project provided relevant technical solutions of the building planned for the competition to transform it into a plus-energy building. It was built at the SDC in September 2021 and used during the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The building won 8th place (out of 15 teams) and is open to the public.
On 11/26/2021, the Sino-German workshop on circular economy was held online in collaboration with the project and Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, with about 90 participants.
On 10/26/2021, the project co-organized a hybrid workshop in Nanjing on the German hydrogen strategy with the Jiangsu Department for Ecology and Environment (JDEE).
Climate change education for elementary school (age group 7-12 years) has been launched as a pilot project in Jiangsu Province. In 2021, a curriculum was tested in four selected classes of Xinghai Elementary School in Suzhou. The project also started a cooperation with Jiangbei New Area Education Bureau for a Dual Carbon Demonstration School in Nanjing in 2021.
On Nov. 17, 2020, the first course of the training series "Climate Protection Planning Management - Urban Response to Climate Change" was held at Nanjing University of Technology for bachelor students of Urban Design. The aim of the curriculum developed for this purpose is to increase the awareness of future urban design personnel in dealing with climate change and to teach the basics of climate protection.
