The Green Industry Forum 2010, being held Nov 24 in Beijing, is a symbol of China's hopes to cooperate with the world in developing a green economy and a place to show China's achievements in green industries.
As clean energy, emissions reduction, recycling, and low carbon technology become the next trend, and a green economy is seen as an alternative, China needs to get busy building an environmentally friendly society.
At the China International Green Industry Expo 2010, which opens today in Beijing, other countries will also show off their achievements in building a greener life, something China could still learn from.
This year's China International Green Industry Expo (CIGIE), with the theme "Green Economy, Mutual Benefit", is unparalleled in level and scale and "very rare for a domestic exhibition", according to organizers. Its hosts are 12 national departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, and it has attracted a large number of Chinese and foreign senior government officials.
