In 2025, China’s "dual carbon" goals enter a critical sprint phase, yet green and low-carbon development often faces the "last mile" challenge — insufficient public awareness, weak motivation for enterprise transformation, and limited grassroots implementation resources. It seems there is an invisible wall between the grand climate narrative and ordinary people’s daily lives. Based on this, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment’s Center for Communications and Education, Onewo Inc., jointly with Tsinghua University’s Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Corporate Carbon Neutrality Action, and C Team Center for Promoting Climate Change Response, launched the " Distinguished Green Users for Space Action Action." This initiative collects action stories from all walks of life across the country in terms of green space usage, aiming to enhance citizens’ awareness of ecological civilization and willingness to participate.

2025年，中国的“双碳”目标进入关键冲刺期，但绿色低碳常面临“最后一公里”难题——公众认知不足、企业转型动力弱、基层执行资源有限，宏大的气候叙事与普通人的生活之间，似乎还隔着一层透明的墙。基于此，生态环境部宣传教育中心、万物云空间科技服务股份有限公司联合清华大学气候变化与可持续发展研究院、企业碳中和行动、大道应对气候变化促进中心共同发起“绿色空间使用者行动”，收集来自全国各地各行各业在绿色空间使用层面的行动故事，助力提升公民生态文明意识和参与意愿。

Recently, the " Distinguished green users for space' Action" Case Exchange Event was held in Shenzhen. Since April, the working group of the " Distinguished green users for space' Action" has collected a total of 96 cases from various industries across the country. Focusing on the low-carbon model of "making good use of existing resources," this event featured 12 project case presenters who shared rich and vivid stories of green and low-carbon practices. Among them, the cases from Guangdong, characterized by "pragmatism and innovation," have become a microcosm of the construction of a Beautiful China nationwide. Through grassroots practices, they have transformed national policies into tangible improvements in people's livelihood, providing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area wisdom for the construction of a Beautiful China.

近日，“绿色空间使用者行动”案例交流活动在深圳举办。从4月以来“绿色空间使用者行动”工作组累计征集到全国各行各业96个案例，本次活动聚焦“用好既有资源”的低碳模式，12个项目案例分享者带来了丰富且生动的绿色低碳实践故事，其中广东案例以“务实创新”的特色成为全国美丽中国建设的缩影，通过基层实践将国家政策转化为可见的民生改善，为美丽中国建设提供了湾区智慧。

Guangdong's Low-Carbon Initiatives Integrated into Everyday Life

广东低碳案例融入市井生活

Shenzhen Futian Mangrove Ecological Park, as a visit and learning site of this event, was highly praised by the visiting guests. Integrating multiple functions including "popular science education, coastal culture, natural landscapes, and leisure tourism," the park is also home to various species such as the national first-class protected animal black stork, rare waterbird Chinese egret, rare falcated duck, as well as otters, leopard cats, small Indian civets and other creatures. It showcases a beautiful picture of coexistence between the city and nature, attracting over one million visitors annually and becoming a benchmark for ecotourism.

深圳福田红树林生态公园作为本次活动的参访学习点，受到参观嘉宾高度好评。该公园集“科普教育、海滨文化、自然景观、休闲游览”各种功能为一体，还拥有国家一级保护动物黑鹳、珍稀水禽黄嘴白鹭、难得一见的罗纹鸭以及水獭、豹猫、小灵猫等多种生物，展示了城市与自然共生的美好画卷，每年吸引游客超百万人次，成为生态旅游标杆。

"In collaboration with Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden, the school has built 10 mini plant science popularization and exploration gardens with different plant themes in the 2,300-square-meter flower beds on campus. It integrates the scientific research knowledge of the botanical garden into campus scenarios to create ecological education." The ecological education project of Zhongshan Diyin Public School covers more than 5,000 teachers and students, with an ecological literacy improvement rate of 90%, embodying the Guangdong educational innovation of "cultivating people through the environment." The sharing guest from the school also stated that in the future, it will jointly carry out "campus ecological workshops" with other schools in the jurisdiction, which is expected to benefit more than 5 schools.

“学校与深圳市仙湖植物园合作，在校园2300平方米的花池打造了10个不同植物主题的微型植物科普探究花园，物园科研知识融入校园场景，打造生态教育。”中山迪茵公学生态教育项目覆盖5000余名师生，生态素养提升率达90%，体现了“育人于境”的广东教育创新。该校的分享嘉宾还表示，未来还将联合辖区内学校开展“校园生态工作坊”，预计辐射超5所学校。

"As of the end of 2024, Onewo's Common Development Program has helped 1,263 frontline service personnel achieve career transformation, supporting the growth and development of every employee; a total of 4,265 AED devices have been deployed in the service areas, successfully saving 31 lives; the digital grassroots governance tool 'Tiancheng Owners' Committee Workbench' has been implemented in more than 5,100 communities, providing integrated intelligent management solutions for sub-districts and community owners' committees." Zhu Baoquan, representative of the organizer and Chairman of Onewo, took the company as an example to share practices of technology empowering low carbon: "We optimize energy consumption in public spaces through AI algorithms, making energy conservation silent yet effective. This is also the core of the Green Space Users' Action — activating existing resources rather than relying on hardware renovation." Zhu Baoquan also believes that the core of the Green Space Users' Action is "activating the role of people," and Guangdong's open culture has provided fertile ground for such innovation.

“截至2024年底，万物云共同发展计划累计助力1263名一线服务者实现转型，帮助每一位员工成长发展；服务区域内累计配置AED设备4265台，成功救助31条生命；数字化基层治理工具‘天秤业委会工作台’累计落地小区超5100个，为街道、小区业委会提供一体化智能管理解决方案。”主办方代表、万物云董事长朱保全以公司为例，分享技术赋能低碳的实践“我们通过AI算法优化公共空间能耗，让节能无声却有效。这也是绿色空间使用者行动的核心，即激活既有资源，而非依赖硬件改造。”朱保全也认为，绿色空间使用者行动的核心是“激活人的作用”，而广东的开放文化为这种创新提供了土壤。

Li Penghui, Director of the Public Communication Office at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment’s Center for Communications and Education, further pointed out: "The highlight of Guangdong's cases lies in integrating ecological concepts into daily life, such as community waste classification and campus carbon education, forming a promotable paradigm. This is in line with Guangdong's spirit of 'daring to be the first.'”

生态环境部宣教中心公共传播室主任李鹏辉进一步指出：“广东案例的亮点在于将生态理念融入市井生活，如社区垃圾分类、校园碳教育等，形成了可推广的范式。这与广东‘敢为人先’的精神一脉相承。”

From Guangdong to the Nation: Ripples of "Low Carbon"

从广东到全国的“低碳”涟漪

From Foshan’s community solar PV projects that feed back people's livelihood through green electricity revenues to form a sustainable mechanism, to Zhongshan’s campus carbon education that makes ecological civilization a literacy rather than a burden, and to Shenzhen-based Onewo providing integrated intelligent management solutions for sub-districts and community owners' committees through digital grassroots governance tools... These Guangdong cases vividly demonstrate how to transform policies into people's well-being and form a consensus that "low carbon equals development."

从佛山社区社区光伏项目通过绿电收益反哺民生形成了可持续机制，到中山的校园碳教育让生态文明成为素养而非负担，再到深圳的万物云通过数字化基层治理工具为街道、小区业委会提供一体化智能管理解决方案……这些广东案例生动展示了如何将政策转化为民生实惠，形成“低碳即发展”的共识。

Zhang Jian, Vice President of Tsinghua University’s Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, believes that the prominent feature of Guangdong’s projects is the integration of economy and environmental protection. Guangdong’s projects are good at integrating resources — for example, Diyin Public School cooperating with scientific research institutions and community projects introducing corporate support. Such "cross-border integration" amplifies emission reduction benefits. "This 'low input, high participation' model provides a replicable path for the construction of a Beautiful China.

清华大学气候变化与可持续发展研究院副院长张健认为，广东项目的突出特点是经济与环保的结合，广东项目善于整合资源，如迪茵公学与科研机构合作，社区项目引入企业支持，这种“跨界融合”放大了减排效益。“这种“低投入、高参与”的模式，为美丽中国建设提供了可复制的路径。”

He Chaoxin, Chief Youth Officer of the Global University Climate Forum, further supplemented: "Guangdong’s exploration has proven that low-carbon transformation can enhance people's sense of happiness. The creativity shown by Greater Bay Area youth in projects, such as carbon point design and environmental protection cultural and creative products, provides a youthful perspective for a Beautiful China."

世界大学气候变化联盟首席青年官何超欣进一步补充道：“广东的探索证明了低碳转型可以提升幸福感。湾区青年在项目中展现的创造力，如碳积分设计、环保文创等，为美丽中国提供了青春视角。”

Wang Weiwei, Chairman of the Green Space Users' Action and General Manager of Onewo's Sustainable Development Center, said: "Guangdong’s cases provide a reference for the whole country, and we will promote excellent practices to be included in the DGUS Yearbook. In the future, the action will strengthen Guangdong-Hong Kong cooperation to bring Greater Bay Area experience to the world." Wang Weiwei revealed that the working group is in contact with policy departments to convert cases into standard recommendations, providing institutional support for the construction of a Beautiful China.

绿色空间使用者行动主任委员、万物云可持续发展中心总经理王唯唯表示：“广东案例为全国提供了参考，我们将推动优秀实践入编《绿色空间使用者年鉴》。未来，行动将加强粤港合作，让湾区经验走向国际。”王唯唯透露，工作组正与政策部门对接，将案例转化为标准建议，为美丽中国建设提供制度化支撑。

In Wang Weiwei’s view, the in-depth value of the Green Space Users' Action lies in injecting "inclusiveness" into the construction of a Beautiful China. As a major manufacturing hub, Guangdong often regards green transformation as a "hard task," but the cases show that soft behavioral changes are equally important.

在王唯唯看来，绿色空间使用者行动的深层价值在于其为美丽中国建设注入了“普惠性”。广东作为制造业重镇，绿色转型常被视为“硬任务”，但案例表明，软性行为改变同样重要。

From Lingnan to the whole country, the Green Space Users' Action has proven that when green development takes root in folk wisdom, a Beautiful China is no longer a vision but a tangible daily life. With the promotion of more cases, the Greater Bay Area may become a model area for green transformation, contributing Chinese wisdom to global ecological civilization.

从岭南到全国，绿色空间使用者行动证明：当绿色发展扎根于民间智慧，美丽中国就不再是愿景，而是可触可及的日常。随着更多案例的推广，湾区或将成为绿色转型的样板区，为全球生态文明贡献中国智慧。
