The eastern Chinese city of Shanghai is aiming to build itself into an international carbon finance center amid efforts to reach peak carbon emissions by 2025, five years ahead of China's overall timetable, according to Chen Yin, the city's executive vice mayor.

上海常务副市长陈寅表示，上海将打造国际碳金融中心，力争在2025年前实现碳排放达峰。这比中国的总体时间表提前了5年。

Carbon finance will be made an important part of the city's push to build itself into an international financial center, Chen told a press conference in Beijing on April 22.

4月22日，陈寅在北京举行的新闻发布会上表示，要把碳金融作为上海国际金融中心建设的重要组成部分。
