Beijing: China’s push for a digital and green future has taken a significant step forward with the release of new guidelines aimed at synchronizing digital development with green growth. The guidelines, issued by China’s Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission alongside nine central departments, emphasize the country’s commitment to sustainable development through innovative technologies.
Published on Saturday, the guidelines highlight two primary goals: promoting green, low-carbon development within digital industries and accelerating the green transformation of various sectors through digital technology. By merging emerging technologies with green initiatives, China aims to enhance traditional industries while fostering a more sustainable future.
The guidelines outline a collaborative approach, detailing the roles of authorities, industry associations, universities, research institutes, and businesses in driving this transition. A three-part framework is proposed, focusing on building basic capacity, developing technological systems, and integrating industrial systems for seamless digital-green integration.
China’s regions are encouraged to prioritize high-quality development, utilizing local resources and fostering specialized industries to create functional advantages. This regional focus is expected to speed up the coordinated transformation, aligning local development with the national strategy for a greener and more digitalized economy.
China’s new guidelines mark a decisive step in its journey towards a digital and green future, emphasizing the importance of coordinated efforts across various sectors and regions. By leveraging digital technology to promote green growth, the country aims to set a global example in sustainable development.
