全球环境研究所2015年度报告Global Environmental Institute 2015 Annual Report

2015年，我们取得了显著的增长，取得了更大的影响，取得了一连串的成功，付出了更大的努力。今年，GEI再次致力于创新，因为我们搬到了一个新的办公室，欢迎了五名新员工，并继续实施战略，使我们的可持续发展方法现代化，例如这一新的在线年度报告！在我们的项目中，出现了新的令人兴奋的合作，也许只有今年我们完成的出色的外部工作才是最好的。以下是我们工作中的一些亮点：发布了两系列中国海外投资专家报告，涵盖中国在非洲（刚果、莫桑比克、喀麦隆和乌干达）和湄公河下游地区（越南、柬埔寨、老挝和缅甸）。这两个系列报告全面分析了自2002年“走出去”以来，中国在两个最热门的对外直接投资领域的投资。它们还建设企业在海外投资中降低风险和进行尽职调查的能力。重要的是，这些报告虽然本身具有权威性，但补充和扩大了我们为培训中国企业进行负责任的海外投资而准备的材料。事实上，2015年，我们在北京和云南为中国高管举办了企业社会责任培训班。GEI还推动了缅甸海外木材贸易手册的初稿，该手册已经开始限制缅甸和中国之间的非法木材贸易。•在减缓气候变化方面实现国际合作，同时建设中国实施科学低碳发展政策和提供可持续发展援助的能力。自2008年以来，盖伊一直致力于发展中美在气候变化问题上的合作，从“第二轨道对话”开始，最终在2014年达成了中美气候变化执行联合声明。中美之间由此产生的沟通与合作在各大媒体和智囊团中得到了强调，这是2015年巴黎联合国缔约方大会（COP21）取得成功的重要原因。GEI参加了第21届世界气候大会，并致力于下一阶段的国际气候工作。在2015，我们还扩大了中国低碳发展政策工具包在天津、山西、广东、上海、大连、青海和甘肃等省份的应用和推广。在这七个方面，150多名官员参加了我们的培训班，现在准备制订可执行的、以科学为基础的政策，为本市带来持久和积极的发展。此外，我们还与天津市治理研究院合作开发了“绿色交通政策分析”，在近10门课程中，我们向600名领导讲解了这一分析。向前看，盖伊对更多的成功感到兴奋。事实上，由于广东、陕西和湖南省低碳发展工具包的成功，31个新城市签署了谅解备忘录，以开发“温室气体排放清单和预测工具”，并为建筑和运输部门获取软件。让我们关注中国和周边国家的农村地区，GEI的能源和气候变化小组也完成了两个项目的一部分，他们的“低碳清洁烹饪炉示范项目”在中国的山西和缅甸。缅甸项目特别促成了330万美元的捐款，作为中国南南气候变化基金的一部分。在整个中国西部地区扩大了GEI的社区驱动保护特许协议（CCCA）保护协议，使数百名当地人能够关心当地环境并开发新的可持续发展手段。CCA机制主要分布在整个宁夏和青海，西藏高原的主要地区，由于全球变暖正在经历严重的环境变化。作为CCCA的一部分，GEI在几个平台上开展工作，以提高当地监测和保护环境的能力，并建立新的经济上可行的市场。例如，我们建立了三个不同的社区基金，支持四个合作社，包括藏族妇女合作社、手工艺和生活畜牧业发展。此外，还有15户藏族牧民参与了我们的生态旅游服务示范。通过捐赠他们的家庭，这些牧民减少了因修建新道路和新酒店基础设施而带来的环境恶化。此外，62名牧民与GEI官员合作，种植了500英亩杏和李子，这些都是经济上可行的作物。GEI官员还致力于增加青海、宁夏和内蒙古三江源地区的社区保护和荒漠化防治议定书。具体来说，我们把协议扩大了8400多公顷，总面积达到30000公顷，这片土地将由我们直接培训的当地人照料。2015年，我们与300名农牧民、120多名妇女和残疾人以及2.5万名受灾社区居民开展了合作。这些人将培养一个强大的、支持性的和自我维持的网络，使其超越目前的11个社区。2015年取得的成果是富有影响力和活力的，使我们能够发展一种新的思维方式。当我们开始规划GEI未来3-5年的战略时，创新仍然是核心。今后几年，我们希望加强工作，重点关注中国的产业结构调整和“走出去”进程，以及这些做法将如何影响生态脆弱地区。此外，我们正在沿着“一条一条路”的道路，为中国国家生物多样性区域的保护机制翻倍。最后，我们将继续建立社区网络，扩大双边和多边平台的区域扩展，以扩大全球环境倡议的成果和影响。我代表盖伊，对您、我们的合作伙伴和朋友们的支持表示衷心的感谢。随着2016年的开始，我们渴望继续这项伟大的工作，以及未来新的、令人兴奋的项目。

2015 flew by with streams of success and hard work as we achieved significant growth and even more significant  impact.  This year GEI recommitted itself to innovation as we moved to a new office, welcomed five new staff members  and continued to implement strategies to modernize our approach to sustainable development – take for  instance this new online annual report! Within our programs, there were new exciting collaborations, which  were perhaps only bested by the outstanding external work we accomplished this year.  Here are just some highlights from our work:  Released 2 Series of Expert Reports on China’s Overseas Investments covering China in Africa (Congo,  Mozambique, Cameroon, and Uganda) and in the Lower Mekong Region (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and  Myanmar).  These two report series comprehensively analyze Chinese investments in two of China’s hottest OFDI areas since  the ‘Going Out’ began in 2002. They also build the capacity of businesses to mitigate risk and conduct due  diligence in overseas investment. Importantly these reports, while authoritative in their own right, supplement  and expand our materials prepared to train Chinese enterprises in conducting responsible overseas investment.  In fact, over 2015 we held training sessions in Beijing and Yunnan for Chinese executives about corporate social  responsibility. GEI also facilitated the first draft of the Manual on Myanmar overseas timber trade, which has  already begun curtailing the illegal timber trade between Myanmar and China.  • Achieved international cooperation for Climate Change Mitigation while simultaneously building China’s  capacity for implementing science-based low-carbon development policy and donating sustainable  development aid.  Since 2008, GEI has worked diligently to develop the China-America cooperation on climate change, beginning  with the ‘Track 2 Dialogues’ that finally led to their Executive Joint-Statement for Climate Change in 2014. The  resulting communication and cooperation between China and America was highlighted across major media and  think tanks as a significant reason for the success of the Paris 2015 United Nations Conference of Parties  (COP21). GEI participated in COP21 and is dedicated to the next stage of international climate work.  In 2015, we also expanded the application and promotion of our Low-Carbon Development Policy Toolkit  throughout China to Tianjin, Shanxi, Guangdong, Shanghai, Dalian, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. In these seven areas, over 150 officials participated in our training sessions and are now prepared to craft implementable and  science-based policies that can bring lasting and positive development to their city. In addition, we worked with  the Tianjin Academy of Governance to develop the ‘Green Transport Policy Analysis,’ which we explained in  nearly 10 courses to 600 leaders. Moving forward, GEI is excited about more success. In fact, due to the success  of the Low Carbon Development Toolkit in Guangdong, Shaanxi, and Hunan provinces, 31 new cities signed  Memorandum of Understandings to develop "greenhouse gas emissions inventory and forecast tool" and to  acquire software for the construction and transportation sectors. Turning our attention to the rural areas of China and neighboring countries, GEI’s Energy and Climate Change  team also completed two projects part of their “Low Carbon Clean Cook stove Demonstration Project” in China’s  Shanxi Province and in Myanmar. The Myanmar project specifically led to facilitating 3.3million USD of  donations as part of the China South-South Fund for Climate Change.   Expanded GEI’s Community-driven Conservation Concession Agreement (CCCA) Protection agreement  throughout Western China so to empower hundreds of locals to care for their local environment and develop  new sustainable means for development.  The CCCA mechanism was primarily spread throughout Ningxia and Qinghai, the main areas of the Tibetan  Plateau, which are experiencing severe environmental changes due to global warming. As part of the CCCA, GEI  worked on several platforms to increase the local’s ability to monitor and protect their environment as well as  establish new economically viable markets. For example, we established three distinct community funds that  support four cooperatives including Tibetan women's cooperative, crafts and life-stock breeding development.  Furthermore, 15 households of Tibetan herdsmen were involved in our ecotourism services demonstration. By  donating their households, these herdsmen cut back on the environmental degradation that would come with  building new roads and infrastructure for new hotels. Furthermore, 62 herders worked with GEI officers to plant  500 acres of apricot and plum, which are economically viable crops. GEI officers also worked to increase the community protection and desertification control protocol in the  Sanjiangyuan Region in Qinghai, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. Specifically, we expanded the protocol by more  than 8,400 hectares to total 30,000 hectares and this land will be cared for by the locals whom we directly  trained. Over the course of 2015, we worked with 300 farmers and herdsmen, more than 120 women and  disabled and 25,000 residents of the affected communities. These people will cultivate a strong, supportive and  self-sustaining network to grow beyond the current 11 communities.  The results achieved in 2015 are impactful and dynamic, enabling us to develop a new way of thinking. As we  begin planning GEI’s strategy for the next 3-5 years, innovation remains central. Over the next few years, we  hope to enhance our work focusing on China's industrial restructuring and the 'going out' process, as well as  how these practices will affect ecologically fragile areas. Moreover, we are doubling-down on protection  mechanisms for China's national biodiversity areas along the 'One Belt, One Road' pathway. Finally, we will  continue to establish community networks and regional expansion of bilateral and multilateral platforms to  expand GEI's results and impact.  On behalf of GEI, I express my sincere gratitude to you, our partners and friends, for your support. As 2016  begins, we are eager to continue this great work and the new, exciting projects that lay ahead.
