Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

 
CISL welcomes Chinese delegation

为实现我们的宗旨,CISL与全球范围内最有影响力的前沿领导者合作,关注那些对可持续发展挑战带来重大影响、具备决心和能力来引领变革的区域、组织和个人。正因此,我们投身到与中国同行的携手合作。


中国的影响力

中国在试图获取和管理经济增长所必需的资源时,也在减少对空气、水、土壤造成污染的相关活动,这是一项日益严峻的挑战。与此同时,中国正在努力实现《巴黎协定》当中其雄心壮志的碳减排承诺。通过解决环境和气候变化问题,中国有机会给全球带来重要的直接和积极影响。此外,中国采取的决心和行动也将塑造全球许多区域和机构的行动。


领导力、创新和投资

中国正在通过长期规划、顶层领导力、创新和投资来应对这一挑战。中国现如今是太阳能科技的全球领军力量,并且已经在能效和清洁发展模式方面实现了巨大进展,从而在全球可持续发展挑战的解决方案开发上扮演着关键角色。


支持中国领导者实现环境保护、绿色经济增长和可持续城市发展

CISL投身到与中国同行们一道,支持其向前推进。尤其通过与政府、企业和金融行业合作,以上是我们《重塑经济》报告当中列出的关键部门。我们的工作集中在以下四个核心领域,对实现可持续经济至关重要:

  • 支持中国的新型城镇化规划。CISL为省市领导提供教育课程和参观学习,从而支持可持续城市的发展。譬如,我们为北京市政府和广东省政府提供了课程项目。这些课程旨在支持市长及高层官员引领资源节约型和低碳城市的发展,有效实现其经济增长、基础设施发展、环境保护,公民包容、安全和幸福的目标。
  • 为产业向资源高效、绿色、包容和开放性经济转型融资。CISL与包括中国人民银行在内的银行业领导者合作,共同推进金融监管在实现绿色金融体系和支撑可持续经济当中的角色,以及为向可持续经济转型提供支持。我们同时与中国一系列银行业领导者和其他利益相关方合作,帮助将绿色金融应用到中国的全球大宗商品贸易和投资这一重要活动中。我们为银行业、保险业、投资界的高层管理者提供领导力课程,推动其通过为产业转型融资,有效提高适应监管变化和系统性风险及价值增长的能力,提升竞争力。
  • 支持将可持续发展纳入“一带一路”倡议的实施。我们的课程通过聚焦以下领域为中国的组织提供支持:可持续发展基础设施投资、发展和服务供应;可持续供应链:包括资源安全,循环经济和可持续供应链管理;建设领导能力,通过与外部伙伴和社区的高效合作有效促进新兴地区社会发展。
  • 支持行业和企业在实现经济增长和有效全球化的同时,保护环境并增强韧性。我们为企业家和行业高管提供领导力项目,帮助其实现政府制定的环保目标,并向创新性和具有韧性的全球企业逐渐转型。我们提供对负责任商业国际期望的敏锐洞察,并帮助企业探寻如何使盈利与可持续发展相协调。

To support our mission, we engage with the most influential leaders internationally, from regions to organisations and individuals that can have significant impact upon sustainability challenges and who have the commitment and capacity to lead change. Because of this, we are committed to our work to engage with and support Chinese leaders.


China’s impact and influence

China is facing significant and growing challenges as it seeks to access and manage the resources that it will need to grow, while reducing the activities that are currently contaminating its air, water, and soil. This is alongside achieving its ambitious Paris Agreement pledge on carbon emissions. As well as the opportunity to have a considerable direct and positive impact through addressing environmental and climate challenges, China has significant impact and influence globally; commitments and action taken in China will inform and shape the actions of many regions and organisations internationally.


Leadership, innovation and investment

China is rising to this challenge through long-term planning, top level leadership, innovation and investment. Already a global leader in solar technologies and having achieved significant progress towards energy efficiency and a cleaner model of development, China is now playing a key role in the development of solutions to global sustainability challenges.


Supporting Chinese leaders to achieve environmental protection, green economic growth and sustainable urban development

We are committed to working with Chinese leaders to support them on this journey. In particular, through working with the key sectors outlined in our Rewiring the Economy report: government, business and the financial sector. Our work is focused on four key areas, all of which are critical to the achievement of a sustainable economy:

  • Supporting China’s New Urbanisation Plan. We deliver education programmes and study tours for city and regional leaders to support the development of sustainable cities. For example, we have delivered programmes for the Beijing Municipality and for the Provincial Government of Guangdong. These programmes are designed to support mayors and senior officials to lead the development of resource-efficient, low carbon cities and effectively meet their targets on economic growth, infrastructure development, environmental protection and the inclusion, safety and wellbeing of citizens.
  • Financing the industrial transition to a resource efficient, green, inclusive and open economy. We work with leaders in the banking industry, including the People’s Bank of China, on the role that financial regulation can play in achieving a green financial system and supporting the transition to a sustainable economy. We also work with a range of Chinese banking industry leaders and other stakeholders to help apply this thinking to the important area of China’s international commodity trade and investment activities. We provide leadership programmes for senior executives in banking, insurance and investment to enhance their effectiveness and competitiveness in adapting to regulatory change and to systemic risks and in adding value through financing industrial transition.
  • Supporting the integration of sustainability into the implementation of The Belt and The Road initiative. Our programmes support Chinese organisations through a focus on: sustainable infrastructure investment, development and service provision; sustainable supply chains including resource security, circular economy and sustainable supply chain management; and on building leadership capacity to contribute effectively to social development in emerging regions, through effective engagement with external partners and communities. 
  • Supporting industry and business to protect the environment and build resilience while achieving economic growth and effective globalisation. We deliver leadership programmes for entrepreneurs and senior executives in industry to equip them to meet government targets on environmental protection while supporting their transition to innovative, resilient global businesses. We provide insight into international expectations of responsible business and explore how businesses can reconcile profitability and sustainability.
