Achieving carbon neutrality is a systematic change involving science and technology, economy and society, and will fundamentally transform traditional production methods, lifestyles and consumption patterns. Carbon neutrality involves multiple disciplines such as energy, environment, finance, and management, and belongs to a typical cross-type and comprehensive research field. With achieving carbon neutrality as the core, the themes of the conference cover low-carbon energy, ecosystem carbon sinks and environmental governance, carbon finance, carbon management and carbon policies. ICCN-2023 will provide a professional international academic exchange platform for researchers, scientists, engineers and students from around the world to disseminate scientific discoveries, technological breakthroughs, policy innovations and institutional design in the field of carbon neutrality and share research experience in the field of carbon neutrality. We sincerely invite scientists, engineers, researchers and students from all over the world to participate in this event to discuss how to combat global warming and find feasible solutions to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.
