BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) – China is going to work out detailed supporting policies for the program to pilot low-carbon cities and towns, formulate a related assessment index system, and offer greater financial support, said Su Wei, head of the Bureau of Addressing Climate Change under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
