背景

国合会于2008年起设立圆桌会议机制，每年举办一次，旨在与地方政府决策者分享国合会政策研究成果，就国内环境与发展热点、难点、紧迫性问题进行交流与探讨。

实现碳达峰、碳中和是一场广泛而深刻的经济社会系统性变革。长江三角洲（以下简称长三角）地区作为中国经济发展最活跃、开放程度最高、创新能力最强的区域之一，在实现碳达峰、碳中和目标的新征程上，将发挥重要的引领和示范作用。为此，2021年国合会圆桌会将以“减污降碳，共建人类命运共同体”为主题，基于国合会气候治理、基于自然的解决方案等研究成果，与地方政府共同探讨如下议题：

• 深入贯彻落实新发展理念，实现减污降碳强生态协同治理

• 率先实现碳达峰的主要路径和面临的挑战

• 长三角地区协同推动生态环境保护和经济发展的良好实践经验

Background

China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) has established its roundtable mechanism since 2008, which is held once a year to share the results of CCICED policy research with decision-makers at local governments, and discuss hot topics, challenges, and urgent issues on environment and development.

Achieving carbon dioxide emissions peak and carbon neutrality requires broad and profound changes in economic and social systems. The Yangtze River Delta is one of the most active, open, and innovative regions in China. It will play an important and demonstrative role in the new journey of achieving carbon dioxide emissions peak and carbon neutrality. To this end, the roundtable this year will have discussions around the theme "Building a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity: Synergies between Pollution Control and Carbon Emission Reduction", including sharing CCICED research outcomes on climate governance, nature-based solutions, and others, as well as exchanging ideas with the local government on the following topics:

• Implementation of the new development concept, and coordinated governance of pollution control, carbon emissions reduction, and ecological conservation;

• Possible pathways and challenges in peaking the emissions ahead of the schedule;

• Good practices in the Yangtze River Delta region in promoting ecological and environmental protection together with economic development.
