While the world debates climate action, Chinese cities are already doing it.
Shenzhen leads with massive EV adoption and vehicle-to-grid tech. Wuhan built "sponge cities" that absorb floodwater naturally. Dalian is scaling hydrogen energy. Guangzhou and Qingdao are tackling food waste and carbon management.
These aren't pilot programs—they're blueprints other cities can follow.
