CCTV9英语新闻：Global clean-tech summit in Beijing（在线收听）

The global clean-tech summit 2016 is underway in Beijing. The two-day event serves as a platform that connects policy makers, businesses, financiers and think-tank to accelerate cleantech development in China.

“We could deal with the problems of deforestation, lack of energy efficiency—not only possible but a exciting opportunity for everyone,” said CEO of The Climate Group Mark Kenber.

The Chinese cleantech market has abundant opportunities. It spent more than U.S.$100 billion on clean energy investment in 2015.

“We see it as a strong opportunity more and more will leverage easy access to technology nowadays and relatively easier for financing, too; 10 years ago was different. Today we have crowd funding; technology makes it easier as well,” said Joachim Jake Layes, director of Global Cleantech and Entrepreneur Impact.

Government also plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success.
