BEIJING, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire =KYODO JBN/ --

Climate Action Week - 2021 Zero Carbon Mission International Climate Summit

(hereinafter referred to as "the Summit"), co-organized by World Wide Fund for

Nature (WWF) and Phoenix TV, was held in Beijing on September 22. At the event,

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huawei") won the WWF

Climate Solver  award 2020 for its world leading FusionSolar Smart PV solution.

This year's Summit officially launched the annual Carbon Neutrality Action

Leadership Award, which, based on the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

and the UN-supported Race to Zero initiative, was designed to recognize

individuals, teams and projects with outstanding performance in business

commitment, innovation in technology, actions that produce results, and

impactful communications, with the aim of encouraging companies to take actions

that help mitigate climate change, driving various industries to set up

emission reduction targets, and setting an example for taking such actions.

The Carbon Neutrality Actor - Climate Solver of the Year award is a key

component of the Carbon Neutrality Action Leadership Award, and is based on the

WWF Climate solver program, an annual program launched in China in 2011. It

aims to create favorable conditions for the promotion of climate technologies

with revolutionary potential by identifying and selecting innovative low-carbon

technologies, so as to contribute to the realization of the goal of keeping

global average temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.

Since its launch in 2011, the award has recognized 34 innovative low-carbon

technologies. Applications for the 2020-2021 Climate Solver Award opened in

December 2020 and closed in March of this year. After rigorous compliance

review, primary election, two rounds of evaluation by experts, accounting of

emission reduction potential and on-site replies, the Huawei FusionSolar Smart

PV solution was selected as the winner from a host of candidates.

This year's selection criteria were particularly stringent. The on-site reply

session examined not only the level of technical advance (20%), the economics

(20%) and the maturity (15%) of the candidate technologies, but also their

ecological and environmental benefits, growth potential and social benefits,

accounting for 20%, 15% and 10% of the overall score, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, Huawei Digital Power had helped customers generate 403.4

billion kWh of electricity with green energy, saving 12.4 billion kWh of

electricity consumption and reducing CO2 emissions by 200 million tons,

equivalent to planting 270 million trees.

The Summit, under the theme of "Global Carbon Neutrality and China's Role",

invited more than 70 guests, including Al Gore, former Vice President of the

United States; Tu Ruihe, the representative of UNEP China Office; Jia Feng,

Director of the Center for Environmental Education and Communications of the

Ministry of Environmental Protection; and Marco Lambertini, Director General of

WWF International, to discuss topics including global carbon neutrality,

corporate resolve for achieving climate goals, green finance, energy

transformation, green building and low-carbon transportation. The event aims to

bring together resources, fully mobilize corporate engagement in addressing

climate change, and provide diverse guidance and services such as strategic

planning, technology application, results demonstration, knowledge sharing and

international exchanges for local governments and enterprises to achieve the

goals for peak CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality.
