Since the 19th century, the global average temperature has risen by 1°C, becoming the hottest period in 120,000 years. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an authoritative report, which pointed out that to slow down global warming, the use of fossil fuels must be completely stopped and achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050.
In order to actively respond to the action to slow down global warming, China has put forward a “carbon neutral plan”, which aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
As a practitioner of green campus operation, International Campus, Zhejiang University pays more attention to campus carbon emission, strives to build a “zero-carbon campus”, and build a zero-carbon learning and working circle.
