On October 13, Chen Jiangping, Senior Vice President of GDS, said in a speech at the 16th China IDC Industry Annual Ceremony in Shanghai that carbon neutrality is a long-term task. For the data center industry, what is to be pursued in 2030 is not to reach the peak of carbon, but to "catch the peak.” The whole industry must work together to achieve carbon neutrality in the process of peak pursuit.
The 16th China IDC Industry Annual Ceremony Shanghai Station (IDCC2021 Shanghai Station) is hosted by the Data Center Committee of China Communications Industry Association, China IDC Industry Annual Ceremony Organizing Committee, and China IDC Quan. The conference invited leaders of relevant government departments, industry experts, industry elites and other heavyweight guests to attend the conference to interpret policies and analyze industry development. Chen Jiangping gave a speech on "Data Center Helps Digital City Construction, Practicing Dual-Carbon Development Strategy" at the conference.
Chen Jiangping said that the data center itself is a symbiotic relationship with cities, especially the development of first-tier cities. The future data center is an integrated energy source and a part of the urban energy system.
He said that carbon neutrality is a long-term work, and the data center industry serves the development of digital city governance, digital economy and digital finance. We achieve neutralization along with the carbon peak. We need people from the whole industry to work together for the goal.
