On December 18, 2022, Hengqin Island in Zhuhai will host the 9th International Forum on Clean Energy & Net-zero Carbon Island. This event is designed to build a shared platform for innovative technologies in clean energy alongside a new technological reform and an industrial revolution, and it will be a catalyst for furthering the Greater Bay Area and Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin under the Belt and Road Initiative.
