With the theme of “low carbon, circulation, and development,” the three-day event serves as an important platform to showcase the latest technologies and achievements in the green industry while deepening international exchanges and cooperation in green development.

The expo covers an area of 40,000 square meters and is subdivided into individual exhibition areas, including the low carbon and new energy industry, the environmental protection industry, the circular economy, and energy conservation.
