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.
