Beijing plans to turn city into global green economy hub by 2035

The first-phase target is a 10-per cent annual growth in green technology patents, improved urban green infrastructure and deeper regional and international cooperation in the field by 2027.

Yang Xiuling, director of the Beijing municipal development and reform commission, outlined the city's efforts to accelerate the construction of an international benchmark city for green economy at the fifth Beijing Municipal Administrative Centre Green Development Forum held recently.

Beijing has pursued a green development strategy for years. To achieve the 2035 goal, the city plans to accelerate the construction of a global benchmark city for green economy in Beijing, including fostering innovation in green technologies such as hydrogen energy, synthetic biology, and solid oxide fuel cells, a state-controlled media outlet reported.

The city will support the growth of green industries in areas like the Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone and Changping district's Energy Valley.

It will enhance the functions of green trading, product innovation and a new vehicle for international cooperation at the green exchange.

Green transportation is a key support for green development. The capital is also focusing on enhancing recycled water transmission and distribution.
