联合国气候变化新闻6月14日报道，一家中国的科技公司已经开始通过联合国气候变化框架公约秘书处的“气候中立倡议（Climate Neutral Now Initiative）帮助消费者们开展实实在在的气候行动。
四川绿豆芽信息技术有限公司是一家软件开发商，同时也是首家合作“气候中立倡议”的中国公司。绿豆芽开发了一款针对个人用户的推动
碳中和与碳补偿的手机APP。
联合国气候变化框架公约秘书处的“气候中立倡议”邀请企业、机构、政府以及民众通过量化他们的
碳足迹，尽可能多地减少温室气体排放，并通过碳补偿抵消无法避免的
碳排放量，实现气候中立。联合国气候变化框架公约秘书处全球气候变化行动组负责人Niclas Svenningsen表示：
“气候中立倡议”的设立是为了推动所有相关者参与气候行动，而气候变化与每一个人都息息相关。我们的目标是到2050年甚至更早实现社会向完全“碳中和”的转型，而每个个体在此推进过程中扮演着相当重要的角色。我们非常高兴与绿豆芽合作，这使得我们能共同邀请更多的中国公众加入到应对气候变化的行动中。
值得指出的是，这家中国公司打造的绿豆芽APP打造了一个线上交易平台，其产品和服务旨在通过教育和碳补偿等手段帮助用户实现碳中和。

绿豆芽平台提供联合国
认证的
碳信用（CERs），让用户能够支持发展中国家的碳
减排项目，例如非洲的清洁炉灶和印度的风电项目等。
另外，绿豆芽努力通过通过社交媒体，包括微博以及Instagram等各种渠道提高公众对气候变化与绿色可持续生活方式的认知。
绿豆芽还组织自发的碳中和活动，包括植树、骑行等公共活动，完成了例如2017国际低碳（镇江）大会等等大型活动的碳中和。
绿豆芽与“气候中立倡议”的合作确保了其国际碳信用抵消项目的可信度与透明度。该合作将有效促进我国气候行动的复制推广，扩大受众面与气候行动的影响力，这与绿豆芽“一起碳中和”的使命是相吻合的。绿豆芽负责人连希蕊说。 所有绿豆芽平台减排项目的贡献者都将获得平台与UNFCCC合作发布的绿豆芽“气候行动证书”。
First Chinese Company Collaborates with UN’s Climate Neutral Now Initiative
A Chinese technology company has begun helping consumers take concrete climate action whilst making use of the UN’s Climate Neutral Now initiative. Sichuan Lvdoya Information Technology Co. Ltd, a software developer that runs a smartphone app which specializes in promoting carbon neutrality and carbon offsetting to individuals, is the first Chinese company to partner with Climate Neutral Now.The Climate Neutral Now initiative of UN Climate Change invites companies, organizations, governments and citizens to work towards climate neutrality by reducing their climate footprint bymeasuringtheir greenhouse gas emissions, reducing them as much as possible and then compensatingthose which cannot be avoided.NiclasSvenningsen, Manager of Global Climate Action at UN Climate Change, said:
“The Climate Neutral Now initiative was set up to promote additional voluntary climate action by all stakeholders, including individuals. Individuals play a very important role in driving society toward the climate neutral world we need by 2050 or earlier. We welcome this collaboration with Lvdoya, which allows us to jointly invite citizens in China to take action”. Specifically, the Chinese company Lvdoya has created an app that contains an online trading platform for products and services that help users achieve climate neutrality through education and compensation of unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
Sichuan Lvdoya Information Technology Co. Ltd A view of the Lvdoya App Users can for example purchase products and services ranging from food and textiles to accommodation which have been produced or are offered in a climate neutral way.
The platform offers UN-certified carbon credits (CERs) as a tool to allow its users to supportemission reduction projectsin developing countries, ranging from clean cook stove projects in Africa to wind energy in India.
Furthermore, Lvdoya undertakes efforts to raise awareness about climate change and sustainable lifestyles through social media outreach, using the Chinese social media platforms Weibo and partly Instagram.
The company also organizes voluntary carbon neutral activities, including tree planting and cycling activities and has helped major events to become climate neutral - for example the 2017 International Low Carbon Expo in Zhenjiang. The collaboration with ‘Climate Neutral Now’ ensures the transparency and credibility of our oversea sources of carbon credits, and supplements our project range. Our collaboration enhances the capability of expanding and replicating this business model, which coincides with Lvdoya’s mission ‘Climate Neutral Together’”,says Ms. XiruiLian, representative of Lvdoya. Any contribution to emission reduction projects is recognized through a climate action certificate issued by Lvdoya in cooperation with UNFCCC.
