Join the California-China Climate Institute for a discussion on best-practices in energy efficiency and co-benefits for air quality in California and China. After a history of energy efficiency’s inclusion in California’s climate policies and their implications for the buildings sector, we will expand our discussion to include lessons-learned for efficiency improvements in the industrial and transport sectors in China.
Through discussion, our panel of climate policy experts shared their analysis on energy efficiency in climate plans and opportunities for moving forward.
