VANCOUVER, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Shanghai's upcoming hosting of the World Expo will be an "unforgettable experience" for local residents, leaving a lasting legacy of international trade that will be of benefit to everyone, according to a former Canadian politician.Grace McCarthy, the British Columbia tourism minister who was largely responsible for bringing the World Expo to Vancouver in 1986, said the hosting of the fair put the Canadian city on the global map, ultimately leading to its successful hosting of the Winter Olympics earlier this year.Now 82 and retired from politics, McCarthy, who heads the Vancouver-based Child Foundation charity which helps children with liver and intestinal disorders, said the spinoffs of the Shanghai expo would be vast, ranging from economic development for the city and the country as a whole, to improving the lives of local residents."Shanghai undoubtedly has strong local government with committees working night and day to make connections around the world. Those connections will pay off because they wouldn't even show up if they didn't plan to have a plant (they wanted built) or wanted to go and help rebuild that area that the expo site is on. There will be international trade which will be a benefit for everybody," she said."The opportunity now for Shanghai is the world gets to know the city, not as a land, but as the land of opportunity. Not as individuals who are hardworking, but individuals who want people to come and stay and live and contribute to the country. That's the essence of a world expo. People will see a very different Shanghai than what they have envisioned. It's a pure learning experience."With a theme of transport and communication, the Vancouver expo previewed a host of technologies that are now commonplace.Demonstrations of the internet were on display nearly a decade before it became commonplace, while inventor Arthur C. Clarke presided over a satellite dinner. With diners sitting in Canada, the famed author of 2001: A Space Odyssey chatted with those assembled via satellite from his Sri Lankan base.There was also a demonstration line of Vancouver's new transportation system with an overhead "Skytrain" moving passengers through the expo site. McCarthy said the Canadian-made system had drawn great interest from Singapore which was looking to improve its own rapid transit at the time. However, they ended up going with Japanese technology."It's that kind of interface and that kind of incentive that assist industry both in Canada and British Columbia. From that point of view it was super successful from educating young people about the world they live and making industrial and commercial contacts. At expos you always see futuristic things."That's what really makes an expo when you can showcase the world. It's a real learning experience for the country hosting. Children would come to expo and they would learn all about China, what they produced, what their educational system was like. Then they would go to another pavilion and find out more. It was a real learning experience because there was something for everyone at expo."McCarthy admits Vancouver's expo experience happened almost by accident. To celebrate the city's 100th anniversary in 1986, she got in contact with the Louvre art gallery in Paris to see about the possibility of touring the Mona Lisa across Canada, but little success. A chance meeting in London with Patrick Reid, who had overseen Canada's interest at six world expos, however, sealed the deal. With a reported budget of 800 million to 1 billion Canadian dollars, the fair was a great success in attracting more than 22 million visitors, but ultimately lost just over 300 million Canadian dollars.Despite the financial loss, McCarthy said the expo was beneficial for the psychology of the country that at the time was emerging from a prolonged recession. In addition, there was a sense of patriotism that swept over Canada."It was very beneficial for the psychology of the country and that's difficult to put dollars to. Everything is not all dollars, but everything in dollars is psychological because if you pour money into a party, an event or something, you can be super successful if you do it right. That's what we did."For a person who doesn't know Shanghai, this is a great learning experience for them. They'll see the excitement of the opportunities, the young people who have come to life in the city and are doing incredible things, they'll see all of that and their perception will change. That's worth an awful lot in the global picture."One area that benefited Vancouver tremendously following the fair was tourism. In 2008, tourism employed more than 131,000 people in the western province making it one of its largest sectors along with forestry, fishing and mining. It had 2008 revenues of more than 13.1 billion Canadian dollars, up 35 percent since 2002, according to Tourism BC statistics. "Expo provided us with a showcase to show the world and the world was very interested in seeing it. We had boom years for tourism after that ... afterwards, the people who came in droves and were interested in coming simply because of the media coverage that went all over the world," McCarthy said."When the whole thing finished the world did know about us. Someday they would like to come to British Columbia, Canada. That was kind of the mantra. And people did come in droves. Tourism was at its peak during those years."She adds, however, that the Shanghai organizer needed to recognize that "a country can't live on parties" alone, they also needed to be serious about the business end of it."The business end of it is just as much the hospitality plan quotient and the business plan quotient together."It is very important that countries envision what they want for the values of their people and what the people themselves want for a very good way of life."

BEIJING, April 12 -- China has made significant efforts to pursue energy and resource efficiencies to achieve sustainable development, while the nation still faces challenges in the transition to a low-carbon economy and needs integrated solution systems."China is already a world leader in critical low-carbon technologies such as solar power, heat and wind turbines, however, it should do more in some key areas, including energy systems, transport, water and food supply during the transformation," said Bjorn Stigson, president of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a coalition of some 200 companies dealing exclusively with business and sustainable development.ChallengesChanging energy use is the biggest of China's challenges when transforming to a green economy. "Less oil, more renewable energy; less coal, more electricity," said Stigson, adding that China's explosive industrial development has placed great pressure on the consumption of energy and other resources.The large share of coal in China's energy mix is one reason why greenhouse gas emissions have climbed so sharply in recent years, though the government has invested heavily in the recycled energy sector."It (China) added more new wind power capacity than any other country last year and progress is on track for nearly 40 million households to use biogas by 2010," he said.Stigson indicated that driving up the efficiency of older power stations is a key part of the solution so far, as are opportunities to switch to natural gas and upgrade the transmission grid - but a rapid increase in the share of renewable energy and nuclear power in the coming decades will be essential.He added that another benefit of the change is that China can soon become a new energy products and services exporter in the near future.Transportation is another pillar as the transport sector is the largest and fastest-growing global emitter of CO2. Currently, about 70 percent of China's energy is used by industry, and only about 10 percent as fuel for its transportation needs, but car ownership is growing daily in China, and energy consumption and emissions are likely to increase significantly in the coming years."Fortunately, the government has put fuel efficiency limits on cars, which are tougher than those in the United States, but more is needed to promote hybrid and electric cars," said StigsonWater is also crucial, which was highlighted by the current severe drought in southwestern China. Increasing the efficiency of water resources is a tough task for China.In addition, food supply cannot be ignored. As a food security measure, China's 11th Five Year Plan (2006-10) set a minimum land area of 122 million hectares for grain production in China by 2020. Keeping above this level is an increasingly difficult challenge, given the impact of climate change and rapid urbanization in China."Further improving water and land management practice will be key to maximizing potentials and minimizing the impact on the environment, but this is a significant challenge," said Stigson.

PARIS, April 27 (Xinhua) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday described this year's World Expo theme of "Better City, Better Life" as a bold and lucid choice focused on a significant challenge for the future.The president is scheduled to visit China on April 28-30 with stops at Xi'an, Beijing and Shanghai, where the exposition will be held from May 1 to Oct. 31."Taking the theme 'Better City, Better Life', you have chosen to make the 2010 Shanghai Expo an event resolutely focused toward the future," Sarkozy told Xinhua in an interview.He said, while the number of city dwellers continued to grow across the world and issues related to urban development became more and more significant, many problems needed to be solved. So China's choice of "Better City, Better Life" was appropriate."I pay tribute to the organizers of the 2010 Shanghai Expo who have made a lucid and bold choice," he said.Sarkozy said France was one of the firm supporters of Shanghai's candidacy for the exposition and was the first country to have promised to participate in the event."The choice of China and the choice of Shanghai, were something very important for us; that is the reason why I wanted to personally attend the opening ceremony," he said.The president said China has made great efforts to make the expo "a huge success."Sarkozy said the design and display in the France pavilion would reflect a real, colorful, confident and open France.
