The 4th and 5th joint meetings on a Chinese ETS Train-the-Trainer pilot programme, supported by the EU-China ETS Dialogue and Cooperation Project, were held online on 26 February and 11 March, 2024.

To take forward the results of the discussions at previous meetings, the EU and Chinese experts continued to discuss some of the issues relevant to the proposal and development of the pilot programme, such as: the content of general training, the content of self-learning, the demand survey plan, the next steps, and the identification and discussion of other related issues.

This innovative pilot is intended to train future Chinese emission trading trainers to cascade the training to wider personnel involved in the monitoring and reporting of emissions from power generation (and possibly cement production) relevant to the Chinese Emissions Trading Scheme.
