Provincial leaders requested agencies and enterprises to continue researching and reviewing opportunities to convert industrial parks into green and ecological models; identify feasible projects and promote the implementation of models that take advantage of the carbon credit mechanism (JCM). At the same time, enterprises need to share difficulties in mechanisms and policies; experience in developing low-carbon urban and industrial areas; and roadmap for converting to ecological industrial parks so that the province and relevant ministries and branches can have appropriate support solutions.
