Liu Hengwei, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Wison Engineering, was recently invited by the Dean of The Fletcher School at Tufts University to attend the international symposium “Mind the Gaps: Climate Policy Integration and Implementation” in Boston. Hosted by the Climate Policy Lab at Tufts University, this high-level academic forum brought together leading policymakers, scholars, and industry experts from across the global climate governance landscape. The discussions focused on structural barriers and practical solutions in national climate policy implementation, helping to build momentum ahead of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), scheduled for November 2025 in Belém, Brazil.
At the symposium, Liu Hengwei shared expert insights and participated in in-depth discussions on global energy transition, the development of hydrogen and green fuels, the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and broader challenges in global climate governance. The event gathered high-profile participants from around the world, including the Head of the European Union Delegation to the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC, the former U.S. White House National Climate Advisor and EPA Administrator, the former State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action of Germany, as well as senior representatives from Brazil—the host country of COP30—and other nations including South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, and Costa Rica as well as the United Nations and the African Union. The Development Research Center of the State Council of China attended as a representative of China’s research community, engaging in substantive policy dialogues with Liu. This collaboration highlighted the growing influence of Chinese think tanks and the synergy between research and industry in shaping global climate governance.
Liu remarked, “It is a great honor to engage with policymakers and thought leaders in global climate governance. This symposium has deepened our understanding of international trends and policy developments in climate action, offering valuable insights for shaping Wison Engineering’s new energy strategy with a truly global perspective. Wison Engineering remains committed to driving sustainable development through technological innovation. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen dialogue and collaboration with key international stakeholders, advance green technology innovation, and support the practical implementation of green projects worldwide.”
In addition, during his visit, Liu met with faculty and researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and engaged with climate tech startups in the Boston area. These interactions enabled him to gain firsthand insights into emerging technological trends and explore new avenues for international collaboration.
