Speaking at the opening of the CEEP-BIT Pavilion during COP31, Bin Wang emphasized implementation over declaration, calling for climate dialogue to lead to concrete cooperation.
On November 11, 2026, the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research at Beijing Institute of Technology (CEEP-BIT) officially opened its dedicated pavilion at the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye.
CEEP-BIT became an observer organization to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2023. Its COP31 pavilion provides a platform for research presentations, academic dialogue and international cooperation on energy transition, climate policy and AI-enabled climate governance.
On the same day, CEEP-BIT held a thematic side event focusing on sustainable energy transition, AI-enabled climate governance and South-South cooperation. The event was co-organized by Beijing EqualOcean Technology Co., Ltd. and brought together representatives from international organizations, academic institutions and industry.
At the opening ceremony, Bin Wang, Chairman of Beijing EqualOcean Technology Co., Ltd., delivered remarks on bringing China's low-carbon technologies to the world. He highlighted the need for global partners, global capital and global trust, and outlined three priorities for the pavilion: being more technology-driven, more international and more market-oriented.
Below is the text of his remarks, lightly edited for grammar, clarity and readability.
Remarks by Bin Wang, Chairman of Beijing EqualOcean Technology Co., Ltd.
Distinguished Professor Wei, Dean Tang, Dean Wang, Ms. Yali Wang, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning.
Our moderator has kindly read out a long list of my titles. But the one I treasure most is the very first: I am a student of Professor Wei Yiming, and I am a postdoctoral researcher at Beijing Institute of Technology.
So it is a special honor for me to speak here at the CEEP-BIT Pavilion.
As a co-organizer of this pavilion, we want to bring China's low-carbon technologies to the world. Over the past decade, China has built one of the world's largest clean-technology ecosystems — in solar, wind, energy storage, CCUS and circular technology. What these companies need now is not only a domestic market, but also global partners, global capital and global trust.
To serve that purpose, we have tried to make this pavilion stand out in three ways:
First, more technology-driven: every session is anchored in real technologies and real industrial cases, not slogans.
Second, more international: we have invited delegates, investors and buyers from all across the world, so that dialogues here cross borders from the very first minute.
Third, more market-oriented: we want every conversation in this pavilion to end in concrete cooperation — partnerships and investment. Because implementation, not declaration, is the theme of COP31.
Let me take one minute to introduce EqualOcean, the organization my two partners and I founded 12 years ago.
Over the past twelve years, we have served 100,000 technology innovation companies in China.
Among them, there are 70,000 AI companies, 20,000 green solution providers and 10,000 future-industry companies.
For these companies, we do three things.
First, we help them expand their markets, discover their value and communicate that value to the world.
Second, we help the real industry find innovation through our consulting services — improving efficiency and reducing costs.
Third, we take the best cases overseas, helping these companies expand into global markets, so that more and more industries around the world can enjoy the dividends of technology on an equal footing.
And that is why, from day one twelve years ago, our mission has never changed: to make technology more equal — Tech for Equal.
Finally, on behalf of the EqualOcean team, my colleagues here — Ms. Chuanxing Huang and Mr. Le Zhang — and I sincerely thank Professor Wei and Beijing Institute of Technology for their leadership in making this pavilion possible, and thank all of you for coming.
I wish all of you a most rewarding harvest here at COP31.
Let me close with a personal memory.
In 1991, when I was in the first grade of primary school, I heard a song by Michael Jackson — "Heal the World."
I still remember how excited and moved I was.
At that time, there was no COP yet. As we know, the first COP was held in 1995.
But that song planted, in a seven-year-old boy, the seed of protecting our planet.
Thirty-five years have passed. Now, I am 41 years old, and today I am standing on this stage at COP31.
I still want to make the same call to all of you: let us protect our planet, just as I hummed in primary school. We need a better world. So, heal the world, and make it a better place.
Thank you.
