Notable achievements have been made in the construction of a zero-carbon demonstration zone in Boao. Sixteen projects of the first phase have been completed, with the remaining projects planned to be finished before the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2024. The demonstration zone will see integrated application of deep emission reduction technologies in various fields such as energy, construction, transportation and waste disposal. Meanwhile, high-quality offsetting measures such as adding forest-based carbon sinks will also be applied to achieve continuous reduction of carbon emission with the ultimate goal of zero carbon emission.
