Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
This week in China, the national conversation turns to something invisible yet powerful.
energy efficiency.
And it's not just about turning off the lights.
It's about redefining how we build, drive, trade, and even live.
So what's fueling this green momentum?
And how far are we from turning ambition into action?
Coming to you live from Beijing, this is Roundtable.
I'm He Young.
For today's program, I'm joined by Steve Hatherley and Yu Shun in the studio.
First on today's show.
This week marks China's National Energy Efficiency Promotion Week,
a timely moment to spotlight the country's growing momentum toward a low-carbon future.
From ultra-low energy consumption buildings and the rise of electric vehicles to carbon trading mechanisms that are reshaping how we think about emissions,
green innovation is no longer a niche topic.
It's going mainstream.
But how do these pieces fit together in the broader push for sustainable development?
And more importantly, what role do individuals, businesses,
and cities play in making energy efficiency more than just a slogan?
