Leveraging national policy to shift local behavior for community benefit: The Tangchang case

Tangchang brings the series to the community scale, connecting low-carbon action with environmental education. The community has achieved Silver certification under the Low-Carbon Sustainable Homeland framework and established a certified environmental education facility. Practical initiatives, including rainwater reuse for planted walls, make environmental stewardship tangible in everyday settings. The case illustrates how community initiative and municipal support can reinforce one another. It invites other cities to consider how guidance, learning opportunities and support for locally identified priorities can help residents participate in the transition.
