The Paris Agreement set an ambitious goal to limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5 degrees, in comparison with pre-industrial levels, which has prompted a series of measures to achieve this target. In response to mitigate climate change, countries and businesses have adopted global decarbonisation pledges to fulfil their Environmental, Social and Corporate governance (ESG) commitments. Decarbonisation has become a global imperative and one of the top priorities for governments, companies, and society at large.

Event description:
In China, livestreaming and mobile video apps grew in popularity earlier, and far more quickly. This was significant, because it gave a strong cultural foundation, onto which social commerce could build. Social commerce made up 13% of retail e-commerce sales in China in 2021, and the industry is expected to grow by 38.5% on annual basis to reach $363,547.3 million in 2022.

The way people communicate and live their lives has altered considerably and therefore influenced how companies operate and communicate with their clients. The rise of a new consumer class — the affluent, sophisticated, and highly connected millennial — has helped to grow the e-commerce revolution and make China a powerhouse of social commerce.
