As the sole domestic third-party certification body participating in the Alliance's "Environmental Laws, Regulations, and Standards" thematic partnership system, CQC actively conducts related research, training, and exchanges. CQC aims to provide support in environmental laws, regulations, and standards for the construction of a green "Belt and Road," promoting the exchange and transfer of advanced green and low-carbon technologies and facilitating the development of green infrastructure construction, green investment, and trade.

The Alliance is the first international environmental organization jointly initiated by non-governmental organizations, research institutions, and enterprises in the global ecological environment and sustainable development fields under the framework of the green "Belt and Road." The Alliance aims to build a mechanism-based and international multilateral cooperative platform to promote the co-construction of national green low-carbon transitions. The organization intends to jointly achieve the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and build a community of shared future for humanity and nature.
