Tianhe district detailed 16 specific tasks and eight construction projects in a recent plan, to ensure a green, low-carbon, and aesthetically pleasing National Games.

The 15th National Games will be jointly hosted by Guangdong province, Hong Kong, and Macao in November and December. That's along with the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games.

The plan proposes accelerating the construction of 40-kilometer forest trails in Huolu, Longyandong, and Fenghuang mountains, promoting the restoration of forest ecosystems in the three mountains and establishing "beautiful rivers and lakes" across the region.

Efforts will be made to speed up the construction of charging and hydrogen refueling facilities and to prioritize the use of new energy vehicles during the National Games.

In the process of renovating venues, steps will be undertaken to environmentally classify and dispose of construction and landscape waste environmentally.

Enhancements will also be made to monitor the network overseeing the environmental quality of competition venues, accommodation, and surrounding areas.

Through extensive publicity campaigns, people will be encouraged to take part in the carbon neutrality initiatives by adopting low-carbon travel, consumption, and lifestyle practices during the events.
