Dr Shende suggested that entrepreneurs promote a green low-carbon lifestyle by developing earth-friendly habits at a personal level and adopt a low-carbon economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution, and low emissions through innovation in energy technology, institutional innovation, and innovation in development concepts.

Professor Sun Yi pointed out that to achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to adjust and optimize the economic structure, and the development of an urban digital information industry is a key step.
