Leading universities should play a leading role in tackling the global challenge of climate change. Tsinghua University has top talent in climate change and established the ‘Global Alliance of Universities on Climate’ together with 12 world-leading universities, including the University of California, Berkeley. We believe that by working together, we can make our due contribution to global climate governance.”
—Yong Qiu, President of Tsinghua University
The California-China Climate Institute’s Training Programs connect global and business and governmental leaders with renowned thought leaders, policymakers and practitioners who are transforming the future of energy, climate policy and sustainable investment and development throughout the world.
Training programs are executed through close collaboration between The California-China Climate Institute and partner organizations in California and China. Chinese partners include Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development at Tsinghua University, the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), Chinese Ministry of Commmerce, and China’s national and provincial governments. California partners include top government agencies such as the Governor and Lieutenant Governor’s office, California Public Utilities Commission, California Natural Resources Agency, California Energy Commission, California Air Resources Board, California Independent System Operator, Air Quality Management Districts and others.
The Institute’s training programs are creating new opportunities for Chinese and Californian researchers and scientists, technical experts and policymakers to learn from their counterparts—and advance critical policies and programs to curb carbon emissions.
