The annual "China Corner" series of side events at the UN Climate Change Conference is one of the most important occasions to showcase China's policies and actions to address climate change and to tell the world about China's contribution to climate governance. From 2017 to 2019, NWU has been invited to assist in organizing three side events on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCS) technologies, which have become one of the most successful and internationally welcomed side events in the China Corner.
