and launched China (Shanghai) International Electric Vehicle Pilot 2.1
City Demonstration Program.
In addition, under the framework of the Asia–Europe Meeting
(ASEM), the Asia–Europe Water Resources Research & Utilization
Center has been established. Together with other countries and
international organizations, e.g., Australia, Italia, UK, EU, IEA, and the
Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), China has initiated
a number of cooperative projects on carbon capture and storage. In
2010, China launched the CCS projects with Australia, Italia, EU, and
other countries, which made positive contributions to China’s capacity
building for development of CCS demonstration projects. In 2009,
NDRC of China, UK’s Department for International Development,
and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation jointly
implemented a project–Adapting to Climate Change in China–
which played an exemplary role in facilitating China’s scientific and
technological work in adaptation to climate change. Furthermore,
China has also conducted extensive S&T cooperation with UK, Italy,
Japan, and the Republic of Korea in the fields including energy-saving
buildings, low carbon demonstration townships, and smart grids.
China has actively carried out S&T cooperation on climate change
with other developing countries too. Climate change, clean energy,
and environment are the priority areas of cooperation between
countries including China, India, South Africa, and Brazil. MOST
organized the preparation of the Applicable Technology Manual for
South–South Cooperation on Science and Technology to Address
Climate Change and launched the Network/Platform for International
Science and Technology Cooperation for Addressing Climate Change.
MOST and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Framework of Technical
and Institutional Cooperation on Environment in Africa (2008) and
an Implementation Agreement on Joint Projects on Environment
in Africa (2009), under which MOST had implemented some
demonstration projects in Africa, e.g., technologies for drought early
warning system and adaptation to drought, to help African countries
improve their capacities to tackle climate change. In 2010, China and
Brazil established the Tsinghua-UFRJ China–Brazil Center for Climate
Change and Energy Technology Innovation in Tsinghua University,
which enhanced the cooperation of the two countries in this field.
Additionally, the China State Oceanic Administration implemented
the Indonesia–China Center for Ocean and Climate.
