Düs­sel­dorf, 12.11.2021

Dur­ing her present­a­tion at the 26th United Nations Cli­mate Change Con­fer­ence COP 26, Dr. Rong He, Deputy Gen­er­al Man­ager of WEIQIAO Germany GmbH, intro­duced China’s dual car­bon goals and Weiqiao’s solu­tions to achieve the com­mon goal of car­bon neut­ral­ity. She set the main focus on the trans­form­a­tion of the busi­ness mod­el and man­u­fac­tur­ing oper­a­tions, through the use of green energy sources and through increas­ing the pro­duc­tion share of sec­ond­ary alu­min­um. She emphas­ized that in the future, Weiqiao will con­tin­ue its com­mit­ment to the jour­ney toward achiev­ing net-zero emis­sions and based on the cur­rent achieve­ments, will be able to cre­ate a green­er alu­min­um industry.

The Con­fer­ence of the Parties to the United Nations Frame­work Con­ven­tion on Cli­mate Change (UNFCCC) is a two-week con­fer­ence that has taken place annu­ally in late fall since 1995. At this form­al nego­ti­at­ing ses­sion, coun­tries advance their cli­mate com­mit­ments as well as their cli­mate actions and it has also become an import­ant for­um for a wide vari­ety of stake­hold­ers from around the world to gath­er and dis­cuss the cli­mate crisis and solu­tions. The 26th Cli­mate Change Con­fer­ence, hos­ted by the UK in part­ner­ship with Italy, took place from Octo­ber 31 to Novem­ber 12, 2021, on the Scot­tish Event Cam­pus in Glas­gow. There, nations adop­ted the Glas­gow Cli­mate Pact, aim­ing to turn the 2020s into a dec­ade of cli­mate action and sup­port, so that the rise in glob­al aver­age tem­per­at­ure can be lim­ited to 1.5 degrees. The pack­age of decisions includes strengthened efforts to build resi­li­ence to cli­mate change, to curb green­house gas emis­sions and to provide the neces­sary fin­ance for both.
