Special Topic: China Development Forum 2026 Annual Conference

The China Development Forum 2026 Annual Conference was held in Beijing from March 22 to 23. The theme of this year’s forum is “China in the ‘14th Five-Year Plan’: High-Quality Development and New Opportunities for Co-Creation.” China Agricultural Bank Chairman Gu Shu attended and delivered a speech.

In his speech, Gu Shu shared three insights on how finance supports green and low-carbon development.

First, always regard green development as the foundation of rural revitalization. He stated that ABC Bank adheres to the core concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” integrating ecological protection and resource conservation into the entire rural development chain to avoid pollution before treatment and achieve sustainable rural revitalization. “Our service network covers all over 2,800 county-level administrative regions in China, making us the only bank with full coverage of county-level institutions,” he said. These county networks across the country provide a solid channel foundation for the in-depth promotion of green finance.

Second, always regard innovation as a key means to gather green development momentum. Gu Shu introduced that ABC Bank坚持创新驱动发展，不断加强自身绿色服务创新，通过完善集团协同创新体系，优化政策机制和业务流程，持续提升绿色金融服务的专业化水平。“比如，最近开源AI智能体OpenClaw引发科技圈热潮。我们第一时间推出了农行版的‘龙虾（ABC-Claw）’，帮助客户经理自动加工绿色项目数据、交叉验证多维信息和智能生成尽调报告，让办贷流程更便捷、更高效、更安全。”

Third, always regard cooperation and linkage as an effective path to promote green development. Gu Shu said that green development involves many aspects and requires cross-sector cooperation to form synergy. In recent years, ABC Bank has actively strengthened collaboration with government, financial peers, and all sectors of society to deepen green development cooperation.

Regarding jointly creating a future of global green development, Gu Shu put forward three initiatives. He suggested relying on international platforms like the China Development Forum to strengthen policy dialogue and experience sharing, build consensus, and enhance mutual trust, so as to promote higher-quality green development through more pragmatic cooperation.

First, strengthen coordination and alignment of green standards. It is recommended to further leverage the leading role of international organizations to promote dialogue and coordination among the international community on green project identification, environmental benefit measurement, and information disclosure requirements, improving the comparability and compatibility of green standards across countries and laying a solid foundation for global green market connectivity.

Second, increase innovation in green finance. It is suggested that global financial institutions focus on the needs of green transformation, further strengthen financial innovation and digital empowerment. Especially, fully utilize artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve green project identification, carbon footprint accounting, and risk management capabilities, continuously expand service channels and boundaries, and enhance service quality and efficiency to better meet the financing needs of global green transformation.

Third, promote cross-border flow of green capital. It is recommended to strengthen the connection of green investment and financing platforms, improve risk prevention and information sharing mechanisms, and enhance the convenience and safety of cross-border green capital flows. Particularly, support developing countries’ green transformation through joint financing, knowledge sharing, and capacity building.
