China is advocating for the integration of green development strategies and carbon emission standards across the Asia-Pacific region. During the APEC trade ministers meeting, officials highlighted the role of digital trade and the Asia-Pacific Model E-port Network in accelerating the shift toward a low-carbon economy. The proposal focuses on creating a regional digital ecosystem to support sustainable investment and cooperation on green minerals. By aligning standards on carbon emissions, the initiative aims to transition the region's development model toward more sustainable, low-carbon growth.
