How To Promote Low-carbon Transport? Your Views Matter
To meet the long-term target under the Paris Agreement, the whole society needs to step up efforts, including reducing carbon emissions in our daily living. In the long run, we must increase the proportion of zero carbon energy in our fuel mix through closer regional cooperation.
The Council for Sustainable Development invites you to complete the views collection form on Chapter 4 of the public engagement document, and send us your views on or before 20 September 2019. We welcome your participation in our public interaction activities. Please visit our dedicated website for details of the activities.
