The 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, has become a global platform for climate solutions, with Huzhou City emerging as a standout participant. As the only prefecture-level city from the Chinese mainland invited to deliver a keynote speech at the China Pavilion's side event, Huzhou presented its pioneering ecological initiatives to an international audience this week.
Located in Zhejiang Province, Huzhou highlighted its transformation from traditional manufacturing to sustainable industries through smart water management systems and carbon-neutral tourism projects. The city's 'Green Mine' rehabilitation program, which has converted abandoned mining sites into renewable energy hubs, drew particular attention from climate policymakers and investors seeking scalable urban sustainability models.
