Description of RCE and Geographic Region:
Hangzhou, which is one of the cradles of Chinese Civilization and one of the most active centres of economic development in China, has a long history. The natural environment of Hangzhou includes rivers, streams, lakes and mountains. As the structure of populations transform and the development of urban culture diversifies, Hangzhou is an emerging international city now.
RCE Hangzhou is an open and parallel organisation with diverse participation. It integrates resources, knowledge, and experience from all members so that they can contribute to the efficient functioning of the RCE. Moreover, we plan to send out invitations to different social circles so that we are better able to collaborate on future projects. The RCE Committee and the Secretariat will be given responsibility for exploration, policy making, and coordination. These responsibilities will include exploring new resources, developing projects, seeking itional funding, and making policy. The organisation will also establish a transparent and trustworthy framework to ensure equality, fairness, diversity, and cooperation among all members of the RCE.
