The International Conference on Carbon Neutrality 2023(ICCN-2023, https://iccn-2023.sjtu.edu.cn/ ) will be held in Shanghai, China from October 20 to 22, 2023. The conference venue is at the Longemont Shanghai Hotel (5 Star) located in the city centre, No.1116, Yan An Road(W), Changning District, Shanghai. The conference will be hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and co-organized by the University of Edinburgh, University of Michigan (Global CO₂ Initiative), Tsinghua University, University of Birmingham, University of Oxford, and the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of CAS.

 

Achieving carbon neutrality calls for a systematic in-depth transition of technology, economy and society, which will completely change the traditional modes of production, living and consumption. Carbon neutrality, as a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive research area, involves energy, environment, finance, management, and other fields. ICCN-2023 will provide the researchers, scientists, engineers, and students around the world with a unique international academic communication platform to disseminate the scientific discoveries, technological breakthroughs, climate finance and management, policy innovation and system design, and to share experience, in the field of carbon neutrality. We sincerely invite forward-looking scientists, engineers, researchers and students from all over the world to join this event.
