A group of students, led by Prof. Qing PEI from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), embarked on a study tour to Beijing from 20 to 26 December, 2025. Hosted by Tsinghua University’s School of Environment, the week-long program focused on the theme of "Carbon Neutrality," providing a deep dive into the policies, market mechanisms, and technological innovations shaping China's climate action.
The tour began with an academic session at Tsinghua University, where a leading expert provided a comprehensive overview of global progress toward carbon neutrality and China's strategic "dual-carbon" goals. Students gained insights of the national policy framework and the systemic, interdisciplinary efforts required for a successful green transition, recognizing the potential role of their own geomatics expertise in this grand challenge.
The complex dynamics of carbon economics were brought to life through a visit to SinoCarbon Innovation & Investment Co., Ltd. Participants engaged in a dynamic market simulation, role-playing as power plant managers and making real-time decisions on production and carbon quotas. This immersive experience transformed abstract market principles into tangible strategies, highlighting how carbon pricing directly influences corporate decision-making and incentivizes green innovation.
Moving beyond theory, the delegation visited Haotian Carbon Neutrality Park. This site served as a physical showcase of integrated low-carbon solutions, including water recycling systems, solar energy installations, and biodiversity zones, demonstrating how sustainability principles can be woven into the fabric of community spaces.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Tsinghua University for their generous hospitality and for co-creating this meaningful academic exchange. This successful program has provided an invaluable platform for learning and professional growth, forging meaningful connections between our institutions and establishing a strong foundation for sustained collaboration and partnership in the future.
