SWITCH-Asia培训培训师 项目助推中欧可持续城镇化北

On June 27th, the SWITCH-Asia Project “Train the Trainers” co-organized its first conference in Beijing on sustainable urbanization, entitled “China Goes Urban: Opportunities for Europe’s Sustainable Solutions”. The conference was held in partnership with the European Chamber in Beijing and the Danish Embassy since Denmark was holding the EU Council Presidency during the first semester of 2012.

6月27日，SWITCH-Asia培训培训师 项目参与组织了在北京的第一个可持续城镇化活动。活动主题为“中国走向城镇化：欧洲可持续解决方案”。活动由中国欧盟商会和代表2012上半年欧盟轮值主席国丹麦的丹麦驻华大使馆共同主办。

The half-day symposium featured a remarkable panel of keynote speakers as well as corporate representatives.

活动囊括了一系列反响热烈的政府及学术机构的主题演讲与企业视角的声音。

The event was officially opened by the European Chamber President Cucino, EU Ambassador Ederer, Copenhagen Mayor Jensen, Beijing Vice-Mayor Chen as well as Director Pan from the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies (China Academy of Social Sciences) and Secretary General Li from the Chinese Society for Urban Studies.

活动由中国欧盟商会会长David Cucino主持，开场由欧盟驻华大使艾德和先生，哥本哈根市长Jensen，北京市副市长陈刚分别从三方做主题演讲。学术机构的演讲者请到了中国社科院城市发展与环境研究所潘家华所长和中国城市规划设计研究院李迅副院长。


All speakers highlighted the current relevance of urbanisation in China and the implications it brings about for a long-term sustainable growth pattern that would benefit China and the whole world. Europe was repeatedly presented as an ideal partner for China to work with in addressing the upcoming challenges, given its long lasting experience in this field, its reiterated openness to cooperation as well as the similar challenges faced by the 27 Member States Union.

中国的城镇化现状及对未来长期的可持续发展模式对中国社会发展和世界局势的影响被深入讨论。欧洲模式被一再提及，作为一个与中国长期友好合作的区域，不仅有丰富的和中国合作的经验，并能切实应对中国当前面临的挑战。中欧的合作是开放性的，同时也是27个成员国和中国在未来携手共同应对发展中的挑战。

“Train the Trainers” Senior Expert Ake Iverfeldt specifically illustrated “Sustainable business models to promote green buildings from a technological and policy point of view”, bringing in concrete examples from Europe and stressing the combined importance of policy drivers, market mechanisms, certification and verification tools to ensure widespread, cost-effective and durable “green cities”.

SWITCH-Asia“培训培训师”团队的资深专家瑞典环境科学研究副总裁Ake Iverfeldt的演讲结合政策与技术层面与商业模式，阐述了政策环境与技术支持如何培育推动绿色建筑的发展的成功商业模式。在值得借鉴的欧洲模式中，政策引导、市场运作、评级与认证体系三个层面结合推动了绿色城市的高性价比建造、广泛推广和可持续性。

The second part of the event brought to the forefront specific energy-efficient solutions that the European industry has been designing and developing in the course of its own urbanisation and which can be successfully applied to China at present.

在传播行业声音部分，来自欧洲的顶尖企业阐述了欧洲的产业能为中国的可持续城镇化发展模式提供的行业支持和技术方案。

Spanning from urban planning to water management, from green buildings to district energy-management, an abundant array of European products and systems was presented and was met with significant interest by the Chinese audience, including officials from MoHURD.

从城市规划到水处理，从绿色建筑到区域能源管理，从宏观理论到实践应用的欧洲模式以提纲挈领的方式与中方建设部以及业界深入交换意见。

Building upon this first successful event in Beijing, “Train the Trainers” intends to further contribute to the expanding development of sustainable urbanization in the country.

作为项目第一次在北京举办的大会，培训培训师项目将以此为奠基，在未来更多的推动中国的可持续城镇化发展。
