GDTP aims to facilitate communication and research cooperation between partners and experts, focusing on the best low-carbon research tools and practices at home and abroad, and building practical support systems for technology and decision-making. GDTP promotes green transformation and contributes to the global impact of China’s low-carbon development. The Partnership’s senior advisors are members of the China Engineering Academy, Mr. Du Xiangwan, Professor He Jiankun, Professor Liu Yanhua and Professor Zhou Dadi. Set up by the China Energy Research Council Energy Systems Engineering Committee, it serves as a platform for China’s leading low-carbon research institutes, economists, and energy and environmental experts. GDTP was launched in June 2014 and now contains more than 80 experts and 47 low-carbon think tank partners. The GDTP Secretariat is in Beijing.
