This month, C40 is exploring what it takes to create a sustainable neighbourhood.  Anyone who lives in a city – no matter how big or small – knows that we experience the city through our local neighbourhoods: the places where we live, work and play. If mayors, urban planners, businesses and citizens can make these individual communities green, then they will be well on their way to making their city truly sustainable and resilient to the most devastating impacts of climate change.

This week C40 hosted a Climate Positive Development training session for the City of Beijing and the Shougang Project. The Shougang Project is the first project in China to be accepted into the Climate Positive Development Program, a performance-based recognition system of the world’s most ambitious district-scale low-carbon projects. The training was held at the site of the regeneration area – the former Shougang steel mill – 19 km due west of Tiananmen Square, and was co-hosted by the Shougang Group, and supported by the Beijing Municipal Institute of City Planning and Design and the Peking University Centre of Planning and Design.

本周，C40城市气候领导联盟为北京市和首钢项目举办了一次正气候发展培训课程。首钢项目是中国第一个被纳入正气候发展计划的项目，该计划是世界上要求最高的区域性低碳项目的绩效识别系统。

The New Shougang Comprehensive High-end Industry Services Park, located in the west of Beijing has been announced as the latest project to be accepted into C40’s Climate Positive Development Programme, and the first project to be accepted in China.

C40’s Climate Positive Development Programme recognises the world’s most ambitious low-carbon projects. The Programme supports the creation and implementation of large-scale urban communities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and serve as models for cities to grow in environmentally sustainable and economically viable ways. Guided by the Climate Positive Framework, the Programme supports projects to achieve a “climate positive” emissions target of net-negative operational greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy, waste and transportation.
