The 12th Asia-Pacific Energy Sustainable Development High-end Forum was held in Beijing

China News Service, Beijing, September 10 (Reporter Wang Mengyao) The 12th Asia-Pacific High-end Energy Sustainable Development Forum and the APEC Energy Ministers’ Dialogue Business Forum were held in Beijing on the 10th. As one of the 2026 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) "Year of China" Beijing Energy Conference Week series activities, this forum has the theme of "Asia-Pacific Energy Governance and Sustainable Development". Representatives attending the forum conducted exchanges and discussions around the challenges and strategies of Asia-Pacific energy collaborative governance.

Wang Jianbo, deputy director of the National Energy Administration of China, said at the forum that China adheres to green and low-carbon, innovation-led, open cooperation, and accelerates energy transformation. As of the first half of 2026, China's installed renewable energy power generation capacity has reached 2.455 billion kilowatts, accounting for 60.7% of the country's total installed electricity capacity. New energy industries such as wind power and photovoltaics have accelerated their development, and new technologies, new models, and new business formats in the energy field have continued to emerge, contributing more experience and solutions to the sustainable development of global energy. As an active advocate and staunch practitioner of APEC energy cooperation, China initiated the establishment of the APEC Sustainable Energy Center at the 11th APEC Energy Ministers’ Meeting in 2014. Over the past 12 years, with the support of all parties, the APEC Sustainable Energy Center has continued to function as a think tank and platform based on the needs of Asia-Pacific energy transformation and sustainable development, and contributed important public goods to the Asia-Pacific region. China is willing to work with all member economies, rely on the APEC energy cooperation mechanism, give full play to the role of APEC's sustainable energy center, deepen mutual trust, and jointly promote the sustainable development of Asia-Pacific energy to a new level.

During the forum, China’s independent contribution to APEC’s “Year of China”, the “Cooperation Framework for Jointly Building APEC Zero-Carbon/Near-Zero Carbon Cities”, as well as the 12-year construction results of the APEC Sustainable Energy Center and the “15th Five-Year Plan” development plan were officially released.
