2012_12_05_02Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hedegaard (pictured) will visit China from 23 to 26 April. Meetings during the trip will discuss developments in climate action in Europe and China, opportunities for EU-China co-operation and perspectives for the global climate agreement to be adopted at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015.

Commissioner Hedegaard will meet high-level Chinese public figures, such as Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China Zhang Gaoli, National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) Chairman Xu Shaoshi, Xie Zhenhua, the deputy chairman of the NDRC and Li Baodong, vice minister of foreign affairs. She will also meet with NGOs and give a guest lecture at the Tsinghua University. Commissioner Hedegaard will also visit the city of Zhenjiang in the Jiangsu Province, including a demonstration zone for low carbon development in industries, and the emissions trading pilot programme set up in Shanghai.

The Shanghai ETS is one of the seven announced Chinese emissions trading pilots, which will eventually make up the second largest carbon market in the world after Europe's carbon market. Regular statements and extracts of the visit can be found on EbS .
