The green and sustainable indicator system of the Qingdao Free Trade Zone has been compiled and is entering the implementation stage. After the official implementation, it will be the first green development index system in the country based on the characteristics and needs of the pilot free trade zone. According to the development requirements of the indicator system, the Qingdao Free Trade Zone will strictly control carbon emissions, complete the target earlier than the national "time standard line", and strive to reach the peak before 2027 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2050.
