CBBC/UKTI Seminar: Opportunities in China’s Environmental Stimulus 18 November, 2009 10:00am – 12:30pm (followed by refreshments & networking) China-Britain Business Council, 1 Warwick Row, London, SW1E 5ER
Speakers • Jeremy Gordon, Business Specialist, Fiscal Stimulus Initiative, UKTI: "The environmental implications of China's fiscal stimulus programme" • Stewart Ferguson, China Business Advisor, China-Britain Business Council: "What the CBBC can offer to help British business" • Private sector speaker, case study, to be confirmed
Background In November 2008 China announced a RMB4 trillion fiscal stimulus plan. Additional spending has since been announced, with the total now in excess of RMB6 trillion.
The environmental sector was allocated 5% of the core RMB4 trillion spending plan. But the stimulus plans also include significant spending on “green” projects across the major spending sectors.
The environment, and sustainability, is high on the agenda for local and central governments, and it has also been highlighted as a key sector for UK-China bilateral cooperation. The UK’s Sustainable Cities Initiative gives the UK a head start in this area, while the UK already leads in terms of CDM business in China, and has a strong offering in the water treatment and environmental consulting sectors.
The seminar will cover developments and opportunities in the Chinese environmental and low carbon sectors resulting from the stimulus spending, strategies for engagement, and the support services available from UK Trade & Investment and the China-Britain Business Council.
Location: China-Britain Business Council, 1 Warwick Row, London, SW1E 5ER (nearest tube station Victoria)
Timing: 10:00am – 12:00pm (followed by refreshments & networking)
Pricing: Free
