The Center was jointly established by the Institute of Finance and Sustainability (IFS) and the Carbon Trust (UK), and is one of the policy outcomes of the 10th UK–China Economic and Financial Dialogue. The Center aims to promote the large-scale deployment of green and low-carbon technologies and accelerate the growth of green enterprises by building a platform that connects domestic and international green technology projects with financing resources. It develops a database of green technology projects both in China and abroad, facilitates green VC/PE investment, supports international collaboration in the field of green technologies, and provides consulting services for the commercialization, financing, and investment of green technology projects. The Center works closely with investment institutions, green technology companies, research organizations, corporate users, government bodies, and other social institutions to promote innovation and application of green technologies. In addition, the Center advances a series of initiatives related to sustainable finance, serving as the Joint Secretariat of the China Climate Engagement Initiative (CCEI) and the UK–China Transition Finance Working Group.
