As world leaders gather for the annual UN Climate Summit, LONGi’s activities reinforce the company’s leadership in sustainable development through clean energy and its prowess as a global leader in solar innovation and research.

The COP28 summit will be the first global stocktake since The Paris Agreement and will be the first formal assessment of progress by countries to meet their agreed-upon targets from 2015. The summit will focus on how countries can significantly reduce emissions, including reducing the production of fossil fuels, expanding renewable energy sources, and increasing investment in climate change-related initiatives.

COP28 marks the fifth year of LONGi’s participation in the summit. During this year’s event, LONGi will make several high-profile announcements, including an initiative of "Green Power+ Green Hydrogen" to make the world carbon neutral.

The pavilion will host more than 25 activities, covering a range of topics, including the impact climate change has on special groups like women and children, the transformation of energy-intensive enterprises, the implementation of clean energy programs in underdeveloped countries and regions, and technological innovation in the clean energy space.

"Actions speak louder than words," said Li Zhenguo at the grand opening ceremony of LONGi’s Solar+ Pavilion, "and through our presence at COP28, we hope to demonstrate the value and impact solar technology offers as we collectively seek sustainable development practices."
