Overview
This grant will allow the Energy Foundation's China program to develop strategies, make grants, and monitor and evaluate progress developing media narratives and social media that support the low carbon development goals of the Chinese government. The grant will also be used to support better integration of water and energy planning. The grant will support better planning around water resources used for the production of thermal power. This could limit the expansion of coal fired power stations in regions that cannot support further development. The planning process could also promote the sustainable use of hydro pumped storage power to integrate wind and solar into the Chinese electricity grid.

for the China Sustainable Cities Initiative
A project of the Energy Foundation, the China Sustainable Cities Initiative has as its goal to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in new and existing Chinese cities by improving urban planning and urban transportation. It conducts pilot projects to spark the design and adoption of effective national policy while building technical capacity to implement its policies locally. Renewed funding for the sixth year of this Initiative should produce these results:
In urban planning: The pilot project areas of Chenggong in Kunming and Yuelai in Chongqing begin construction of development projects that follow low-carbon eco-city planning principles. Also, the Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development adopts a national guideline for nonmotorized transportation systems planning and design.In urban transportation: The Ministry of Transportation adopts its 12th Five-Year Plan for public transit and identifies national pilot cities under its Transit Metropolis program. All pilot cities will be required to finish development of local regulations and action plans to promote public transit.
