Please join JUCCCE in our international collaboration efforts and make a visible difference in the greening of China.

Transforming the way we use energy is the most important work in our time and China is clearly the battlefront for this challenge. Fortunately, China is determined to go green and able to move quickly. By focusing our efforts on key levers in the industry, small actions can make a big difference in autocratic China. JUCCCE's programs are chosen based on their ability to transform the way China uses and creates energy, and our program roadmap was developed in conjunction with McKinsey.

JUCCCE is widely considered the leading non-profit organization focused on helping accelerate the greening of China. Our organization is a very virtual organization led by a group of former executives. We have corporate partners and individual volunteers from a wide range of sectors, in China, the US and other countries. We have offices in Shanghai, Beijing and San Francisco.
