On 15 January 2010, the EU-China CDM Facilitation Project implemented the 10th Regional Workshop in Changsha, Hunan Province. The workshop was organised by the Policy Research Centre for Environment and Economy (PRCEE) of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), which is the Chinese coordinator of the EU-China CDM Facilitation Project. The workshop was supported by the Hunan Environmental Protection Department. Officials from MEP, National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Hunan Environmental Protection Department, Hunan Science and Technology Department and Hunan Forestry Department gave presentations during the workshop, which was attended by over 110 participants, including local officials, representatives from local research institutes, and industrial representatives.

The 10th Regional Workshop in Hunan was the last in a series of regional workshop of the EU-China CDM Facilitation Project. Held shortly after the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the workshop covered not only CDM-related topics but a more comprehensive range of topics including discussion of environmental protection and climate change solutions, climate change and low-carbon economy and analysis of the Copenhagen Summit impact. In addition, officials from PRCEE and MEP made presentations on strategies toward climate change and environmental protection and solutions of climate change and low-carbon economy development.

The 10th Regional Workshop was valued highly by the attendees. The Hunan Environmental Protection Department believed that this workshop could be a great support to local actions towards climate change, CDM development and social-economic development. The Hunan Environmental Protection Department made great efforts to support this event, and the local media reported this CDM workshop on the evening news programme. With all the assistance and support from stakeholders and local government, the 10th EU-China CDM Facilitation Project regional workshop in Changsha was a big success.
